I am trying to create the link in PDF that will open the URL in NEW window.
I've tried app.launchURL("http://www.mycompany.com? true);
in Run Javascript. But it didn't work.
Is there other things I could try to make this work? Please help!

The script has a couple of problems, an unterminated string and a mis-use of the "newFrame" parameter. It should look like this.

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

this works great for IE, but is there a script for "any" browser?

This worked to open a PDF in a new window when the original document was opened, but is there a way to open a link inside the document in a new window only when that link is clicked on?

This java tried to open the link from my documents instead of in the web browser... any reason why it would do that. It just gave me an error message.

What I really need to do is force it to open a new browser window for the weblink instead of downloading the link into the document. I want it to do that by default instead of having to right click. Any ideas?

I tried this but I get an error message saying...

Acrobat does not allow connection to:
app.launchURL("http://www.zimmernutrition.com/index.php/learning-center/health-articles/54-general-health/260-flu-shots-trick-or-treat", true);

Here is what I am trying to do. I have a website that links to PDF files. In those PDFs, I have links that point to our website (similar to the one above) but I want the link to open in a new window and not get rid of the article they are reading. I am starting to think this isnt possible.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Kim
