PDF Embed API - Open Web Page dialog positioning and Pop-ups blocking

Greetings!

 

I have a few questions about PDF Embed API (embed mode - IN_LINE):

  1. When clicking the link inside embed PDF document, the "Open Web Page" dialog appears, but its positioning is poor - it appears too high (out of user view) and the user needs to scroll up to see it. Can position of this dialog be modified?
  2. "Open Web Page" dialog has the button "Open Link". After clicking on it Chrome browser is blocking it (pop-up blocked dialog appears). How can this be fixed? Is there any solution (e.g, in JS - any event so I can get an URL from this dialog)?

 

Thanks in advance!

      Page with embed PDF - https://www.allot.com/security-for-smb-position-paper/
      Links in the embed PDF can be found on pages 12 and 13.

      Ok - I see. The top of the dialog is aligned with the top scroll position which puts 1/2 of it under your static header. I'd consider this a UI bug in the viewer but we'll see what Adobe says. Until it's fixed, you might consider listening for "HYPERLINK_OPEN" then hiding the static header allowing the user to click the button then showing it on the next "PREVIEW_PAGE_VIEW_SCROLLED" event, show it again.

      On a related point - if the pdf in question has permission to open weblinks (for example from certain domains, or all), can you turn off the open link dialogue such that the link goes direct to the target?

      In addition when the site a page in question is displayed on a portrait screen the dialogue is hidden / does not appear and the page freezes when you try to activate a weblink...  See https://www.atlanticshoresseakayakguide.co.uk/events.html for an example demonstrating this.
