You run into the "WebCapture" issues. When opening a weblink in Acrobat (full version), WebCapture kicks in normally and appends the page to the document.
You can control the behavior of weblinks through the Weblink preferences. However, you can not control this behavior programmatically nor on document level. You only can control this behavior on an instructional level (telling the user what to do).
Hope, this can help.

I have been experimenting with FrameMaker hypertext, specifically the Special > Hypertext > Go to URL function. When the reader clicks on a URL, I want a new web browser page to open and display the indicated web page.
Reader 5.1 vs. Acrobat 5.0.5 ============================ The URL function works the way I want with Reader, but not with Acrobat. Here's what Acrobat does:
1. A "Download Status" dialog box opens, displays some progress stats, then closes.
2. A "There were errors" dialog box opens and lists a FNF status followed by the target URL with "images/PDFicon.gif" appended.
3. The PDF bookmarks and display panels both show that the web page has been added to my document!
==> Do I need to change an Acrobat preference so that it handles web links the same way as Reader?
I've looked at help, Document Properties, Preferences, and Tools. Nothing looks promising. Any help would be appreciated!
