I have created a document in Microsoft that is full of hyperlinks. I used Save to PDF to create a PDF file and it works great. All the links seem to work.

BUT, they each open in a new window, so the reader would have to keep constantly closing windows again. Is there a way to have the windows open IN the adobe reader window so that the use could just hit the back button to return to the document?

My Product Information:
Reader 9.1, Windows

In the preferences dialog (press ctrl + k) you can activate the option "open cross-documents links in the same window" und the documents tab.

Right. That does work for cross-document links (links to another spot within the document). But I want to open external URLs in the same window.

I doubt that it is possible, but I thought I would ask.

Hmmm. If you just open adobe reader and open the file, you can't open the URLs in the same window. Not that I have figured out, anyway. But if you right click the file and open it with Internet explorer, it works good!
