There is a local Acrobat/Reader preference which controls whether cross-file links open in a new window or same window. FrameMaker cannot control this. It can be controlled through through distilling with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers (for more info / examples, see http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF10.html ) Another possibility to control this behavior, with various limitations, is through Acrobat JavaScript code added to the PDF after it is created.
