Question

How do I create a hyperlink that will open a new window, when saving a frame file as a pdf?

I have created a hyper link in Frame using the message URL command in the marker window. I have added the target="_blank"  command after the http url within the marker. But when I then save the frame doc as a pdf and open that pdf from within a browser, when I click on the link in that pdf, it goes to the new link but it does not open in a new window or tab.

What am I doing wrong?

I should mention that I am using Frame 10.

    Best solution that I can find to tell you is to get Schlomo Perets' FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers 5.0. From the FrameUsers mailing list:

    Schlomo Perets said:

    In FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers 5.0, the "new window" link control was extended to optionally display web-based links in a new browser window (Links/General tab, Cross-file links: Open PDF in a new window, Also apply to web links).

    The function can apply to all web links (i.e. no need to modify anything in the FrameMaker file), or to individual links (in which case a special hypertext marker has to be used instead of the standard "message URL http://..." marker).

    For additional info & sample files, see http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF10.html
