We have a pdf publication in which we have ads which are linked to external websites. How do you have links within a pdf open in a new tab or window? Thanks

Hi barrelracingreport,

If you have Acrobat Pro, create a link using the Link Tool. In the Properties dialog under the Action tab choose Run a JavaScript. Click the Add button and enter this one line of code into the JavaScript Editor-
app.launchURL("http://www.mycompany.com", true);

Of course you will need change the "mycompany" to the web page you want to open.

Hope that helps,

Dimitri
