Does anyone know a way to create web links in a PDF file that specifies that when the
link is clicked, it should open the URL in a new window, leaving the PDF onscreen? I
have Acrobat 5.0 and there appears to be no way to do it with the link feature. If you
begin with a Word file, you can use the Acrobat menu to specify that hyperlinks be
converted, but not that they should open in a new window. Ditto for making PDFs from
PageMaker or working with a PS file in Distiller. All of these method let you add
links, but not any attributes for the link.
If the PDF file is opened from Windows, the links DO open the web browser and the PDF
remains onscreen. But if the PDF is opened from a web page, then clicking a link in
the PDF opens a web page that replaces the PDF. Is there some way to have the links
always open in a new window?
I use Windows 98 and Office 2000 and Acrobat 5.0. Thanks.
