Yes, I didn't see a way to set that in the document itself. However, when I publish manuals as PDFs, I set the document security with "Change the Document" disabled. Then with the Web Capture preferences of Acrobat set to "Open web links in Acrobat", clicking a web link causes an Adobe Acrobat dialog box to open and display the following query: This document is read only. The link you clicked on cannot be appended to the document. Would you like to try opening it in your web browser instead? Yes No If you click Enter to accept the default of Yes, the web page opens in a new browser window. It's not elegant, I admit. Is this what most of you do? --- Max Wyss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You run into the "WebCapture" issues.
