Linking to destinations in a PDF & multiple PDF's opening

[RuthE@adobeforums.com]

I have a single PDF that contains many destinations. I have several HTML pages that contain one link per destination that when clicked takes the user to the specific location in the PDF. The issue? Each time a new link is clicked, a new version of the PDF is opened resulting in multiple PDF documents opened. Is it possible to be able to keep a single version open and have the links go to that version instead of opening a new window?

Does the link have a "target=" portion in its HREF tag?

[RuthE@adobeforums.com]

Yes it has target="_blank". I have tried target="pdf_window" without success.

[W_T_Allen@adobeforums.com]

target="_blank" tells your browser to open a new window every time.

But what is the alterntive? target="pdf_windodw" doesn't work.

Do you want the links to open in the same window as the HTML, or a new window, but the same window for all PDFs?

[RuthE@adobeforums.com]

A new window, but the same window for all PDF's.

Then you should be using

target="whatever"

in the tag, but you said this "doesn't work." What "doesn't work" about it? Does it not open a window? Does it open all links in different windows? Does it do nothing?

When you click the first link, the PDF opens in a new window as it should. If you click a subsequent link nothing happens.

Is there a live example somewhere we can see? What web server is this running on?
