Thanks to the wisdom of someone at Adobe a loooong time ago, the factory default setting for the "open cross-document links in same window" has been on forever. The community is in a constant fight about that, because it does not make sense at all (anymore)... but anyway...
There is a JavaScript App object property which allows you to control this option. By inserting
app.openInPlace = false ;
into a document level script (or a PageOpen action), you can set this user setting to what you need.
HOWEVER, it is considered to be extremely rude to change the user settings behind the user's back. As a consequence, you should either tell your user about it, or ... better ... restore the user setting when you are done.
Hope, this can help.

I am working on a manual that references executable forms. I inserted a button with the "Open File" action, but when the button is clicked it closes the current document. Is there a javascript or some other way to open a pdf form in another window so that my users can move between the two documents?
