I can't be crazy, I know there's a way to do this.
I'm writing docs for inexperienced end users. One of the new things is
that they have to enter times now in military time rather than clock
time. There's some concern that they might need assistance with this.
The first time I mention military time, I have a hyperlink. I want the
link to open a new window, a 4.25" x 4.25" file I created with a little
table of clock time and military time. It works fine if I set both Frame
files to View Only.
I can't get it to translate to the PDF. It opens the file, but not as a
new window and not with the window the size of the file. I've adjusted
the page size in Frame and Acrobat, I've played with the Acrobat file
properties, I can't seem to get this done.
Frame 7.2, Acrobat 6.
The "open in new window" property in FrameMaker is not carried over to
Acrobat (regardless of FM/Acrobat versions being used).
The "new window" link property is available in the Links properties dialog
box starting with Acrobat 6 (even though the functionality is supported
with earlier releases of Acrobat/Reader), but you will have to set it
manually (and redo this when you generate updated PDFs).
See "24 Easy Ways to Improve Your PDFs with TimeSavers/Assistants" for more
info on how this (and many other features) can be automated with my
FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on:

information without switching to a different page/file")
-- http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#10 ("Set specific cross-PDF
links to open a new window")
