Subject:RE: How to get PDFs to open in new window? From:"Potdar, Deepali" <deepali -at- bf -dot- umich -dot- edu> To:"Shlomo Perets" <shlomo2 -at- microtype -dot- com> Date:Tue, 11 Jul 2006 16:07:38 -0400
Hi,
Thanks!
When you say local viewing preference, you mean that I can't control
what my user sees, just what I see, right?
We have Acrobat 7, but didn't see how to modify link properties
specifically to open the target file in a new window- many of us tried.
I'm not sure how to set the JavaScript code but that sounds like a good
idea, as long as our users who have acrobat wouldn't have changed the
local preference from the default (the default is that it's enabled,
right?).
Thanks for any further guidance.
Deepali
