How to have a link inside PDF open a new browser window OR new browser tab

Hi,

 

I have https link inside the PDF in which I want to have the end user click on it to open a new window or a new tab.  Currently, when the end user clicks on the link inside the PDF, the end user is redirected within the same browser window.

 

I've tried using app.launchURL("https://mail.google.com", true).

 

On IE 9, it opens a new browser window, however, the new brower window is hiddent behind the active window (i.e. the browser window where I have the PDF opened).  For the end user experience, it's not apparent if the new pop-up window.

 

On Chrome, the app.launchURL("https://mail.google.com", true) does not work at all.  (i.e. the link does not appear on the PDF).

 

 

In all, how can I have a PDF link force the browser to open up a new window OR new tab?

 

In the older version of Acrobat, I experienced it to work.  But I think version 9 and X of acrobat lost this behavior.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks!
