How do I make links in a PDF open in another page? I would like to keep both pages open at the same time.

When you create a link to open a page, select the file to open and click Open, the Specify Open Preference dialog box opens. Click the second radio button where you see: New Window and click OK. When you click the link, your current document remains open while the linked file opens in Acrobat/Reader.

Note that you can also nest actions in the Button Properties. If you want to select more than one file to open, just add a new Open a file action.

I have a similar question:

1) is there a way to define the target of links in pdf files ? I have a pdf file with (html) links and I want that clicking that links opens a new browser window OR that the content is displayed in the full browser window if the pdf was displayed in a frame (this is very important for me !) !
Is there somthing like the target="_top" option of the HTML ?

2) is there a way to obtain what I have described in point 1) directly from the LaTeX source (with hyperref package) ?

I have to do important work and these points are fundamental for me.

Note: the acrobat reader is opened in a frame in the html page, and from that frame i want to open a new page or to display the content in the top page (full current window of the browser)...
