Re: Use target="_blank" in embedded PDF links?

[Chris Morton <salt -dot- morton -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Apparently the AutoBookmark plug-in lets me do this, but it's $189.... WAY
too expensive for the single page I want to perform this single operation
on.

Another person has a different tool, but it requires every viewer to have
Java installed; that's too much of a restriction.
