Create link in PDF to open in new window/tab

Question

I have a PDF document embedded in a web page with an object tag. Is it possible to create a link inside the PDF document that opens in a new tab/window?

I have tried:

app.launchURL("www.google.com", true);

but it does not work in Chrome.

Answer 1

Yes, you can, but the link must be in the PDF, the document itself.
That if you open the .pdf in your computer, the link must work.

Answer 2

Yes, it must be built in PDF file.

you can do it like following the links below:

- Creating hyperlinks in acrobat

- Add Interactive Links

And if you want to alter the opening of every link, you can do it in jquery style like:

$('a[href$=".pdf"]').prop('target', '_blank');
