I need to disable the Security Warning in Reader when a user clicks on an external URL. how can this be done? and how can i adjust the "title" (yellow box) display when a user mouses over a link to language I prefer (instead of "http://....")?
 
thanks in advance.

There are two ways to suppress the security warnings. You're not going to like either of them.

1. Execute the URL from a privileged context. This requires a script on the users system.

2. Certify the document. A certified/validated document is considered secure. A certified Doc is validated only if the certifying digital signature is on the user's system. You have to give the user the digital signature used to do the certification.

If you use a button instead of a link object, you can set a popup tip.
