Adding hyperlink to form with PDF so it opens in a browser

Level 1

I'm trying to add a hyperlink to a form with a PDF artwork background. I tried using a "HTTP Submit Button" -- but I can't figuer out how to make the page open in a browser and not open the page as a PDF. Is it possible to just add a simple hyperlink in Livecycle Designer ES2 and have the link open in a browser?

Thanks

You have Hyperlink option in Designer..

Place a Text on the form (Not a TextField) and highlight the Text inside the field. Then click on Insert menu -> Hyperlink to add the Hyperlinks..

You can provide the URL in the properties..

Thanks

Thanks -- the form is bulit with imported PDF artwork -- so you can't place a plain "Text" object. Is there another way?

Add either script to the link:

Javascript:  xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.adobe.com");

FormCalc:  xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.adobe.com")

Obviosuly, change the www.abode.com to the site you desire.

Hope this hleps

OK -- Thank you.

I put that bit of code in the object window in the URL field. It looks like it could work -- when I open the PDF and roll over the button, the correct URL displays. But Acrobat won't allow the connection -- even when I go under Preferences> Trust Manager and select "Allow opening of non-PDF attachments with external applications" and under "Manage Internet Access" select "Allow PDF Access to all Websites."  Any idea why that's happening?
