I created a PDF that will be viewed in a browser. Is there a way to set the links within the PDF to open in a new window?

    Did you get an answer to this?   I am having the exact same issue.  My source html document has a link which specifies a target of _blank, but when I generate a pdf from that html doc, view the PDF in my browswer, and click the link, it overlays the PDF instead of opening a new window with the linked URL.  I've seen this posted as an issue a number of times, but have yet to see a solution.

    When I click my hyperlink, it usually jump to the IE page. No need to set.

    Does it jump to the default browser? Because mine jumps to Firefox but my default browser is IE.

    That's very unlikely. Maybe you don't know it but your default browser's Firefox.
