Link action in my hosted PDF presentations

[VivekH]

When an internet user clicks on the links in my hosted PDF presentations,  I want the link to open a NEW tab in the user's browser.  Currently my links open in the SAME tab.  Please help.  Thank you!

Please post the name of the Adobe program you use so a Moderator may move this message to that forum

I just used save as to convert a MSFT PPT 2010 file to a PDF.  I use the free adobe reader to view PDFs that are either emailed to me or hosted online, and presume that most people do as well.  Thanks.

Since you are using a Microsoft program to create the PDF you need to ask Microsoft

Search bar at the top of http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx for ALL Microsoft help

This only works if you use a script, and if the file is opened using the Adobe plugin.

To do so you need to have your link execute the following JavaScript code:

app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);

Replace the first parameter with the actual URL, of course.

Thanks, I did precisely what you described but it did not work. The only part that you wrote which perhaps I didn’t follow was your reference to opening the file using an Adobe plug-in. I’m not sure what that means. But I did the rest of what you wrote and again it did not work. So I’m not sure that I’m going to continue with my 7-day trial.
