Open cross-reference in new window

[Jo Watkiss]

Hi Rick,

This works OK for links to a separate file, but not to links in the same
file.

Is there anything I can do in the Frame file to force cross reference to
open in a new link?

Unfortunately we also have incredibly inept readers and asking them to
change their preferences is unrealistic.  

Jo.

Hi Jo,

In Acrobat 9, you can set a preference for this. Go to the Documents
category, and uncheck the "Open cross-document links in same window"
checkbox. I am using Acrobat Pro, but I think Reader has the same
setting.

Is it possible to make a cross-reference (not a marker) open in a new
window ? 
 
Here's the situation:
FrameMaker 9.0 book with approx 10 files.
Cross-references are both within and between the FM files.
The book is converted to a single PDF file.
 
For convenience, our readers sometimes want to open the cross-reference
in a new window - even though it means that then they have two copies of
the file open.  In Acrobat & Reader 8 and earlier, you can do this with
right-click 'open link in new window'.  But Adobe has removed this from
Acrobat & Reader 9.  So I'm looking for a work-around.
 
Any suggestions ?
 
As always, TIA for any help,
Jo Watkiss
