I've been searching for hours on this simple question. How can you specify target="_blank" on a URL?
I have an InDesign CS5 document with many hyperlinks in it. Actually they have been formatted as buttons with a "go to URL' action.
When converting to a PDF file, some browsers open the file in Acrobat Reader, but others open directly in the browser via a plugin. In the latter case, I want the links to open in a new window (or tab) rather than overtaking the window containing the PDF.
I can't believe there isn't an option in InDesign to specify a target on URLs. I don't mind converting all of the buttons to hyperlinks, but neither panel has this option.
I know it can be done via Acrobat, (see http://acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windo ws) but obviously this means redoing every one of them after having to make any change to the InDesign file.
Can any of you scripting gurus tell me how to do this?
