Re: frame pdf - opening links in new window
Jo, You wrote: I'm converting a Frame file to PDF. The file includes numerous links to other files, which I need to open in new windows.

The openInPlace JavaScript indeed does not affect user preferences when run from a document-level script, starting in Acrobat 8. To use an application-level JavaScript, you need to place a .js file in a custom Acrobat folder (in the end-user computer). In the case of Acrobat 8, the folder to use is: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8\Acrobat\Javascripts (the .js file is loaded when Acrobat is started; folder location is different depending on the Acrobat version. It is probably easier to provide end users with instructions on how to change the cross-file links in new window preference) Another option is to apply the JavaScript code (in Acrobat) as a page action (eg a page action of page 1). If the PDF may open at different pages through cross-file links, the page action should be assigned to all pages (so that the new window behavior is consistent). When it comes to FM-PDF conversion, FrameMaker's openpage/openlink hypertext markers are both identical to gotopage/gotolink. [ My FrameMaker-to-Acrobat add-on has a function that controls the new window property globally or individually, so that no additional actions / JavaScripts are necessary after the PDF is created. The new window property of cross-file links can also be set to apply to web-based PDF files.
