Opening new window from a pdf using Formcalc and gotourl

Avatar

Level 1

Hello,

I am trying to open a new browser window using Formcalc and gotourl.  We are using Livecycle Designer ES2 9.0

Previous versions of Designer had an extra parameter at the end such as :      

     xfa.host.gotoURL(<url>, 1)  or  xfa.host.gotoURL(<url>, 0)

But in 9.0 the second parameter is removed , so I'm left only with

     xfa.host.gotoURL(<url>)  and this replaces my form rather than opening a new window.

Our company restricts the use of Javascript with Adobe so I am left with Formcalc to accomplish what I need.

Does anyone know why the second parameter was removed in 9.0  and/or if there is a way to accomplish what

I need in 9.0 without using Javascript?

Thanks,

Norm.

Hi,

if you cannot use JavaScript because it is deactivated, then FormCalc won't work also.

I don't know why the 2nd optional parameter has been removed. Here is an explaination of it.
