Hi 
Please help on this,

I would really like to insert a hyperlink to pdf output, I wish this link will
be opened in a new browser window?

I knew that show-destination attribute of <fo:basic-link> tag was not supported
jet. Could you please tell me another workaround to satisfy

I'm using Adobe 8 and IE 7
Thanks

Good stuff, Andreas (only a quick glance taken). The only thing that is
probably missing is a parse method for the intermediate format.

I guess if the Acrobat plug-in does not handle the "NewWindow" flag properly,
there's not much we can do. It probably needs to be considered a bug in Adobe's
code.

I'm not sure that behaviour is a bug. Undesirable maybe. My understanding is
that Adobe Reader plugin uses the option "Display PDF in Browser" under
Edit\Preferences menu (Internet Tab) to decide whether to open a separate
window for PDF links or not.

Been looking into this, and I think I got it working (see patch in attach)

The only thing that's keeping me from committing ATM is that I'm unsure how to
test for it...

Additional reservations:
The patch only adds show-destination functionality for links with an
external-destination. Internal links are converted to destinations or local
/GoTo actions, and there does not seem to be a way of forcing these to open in
a new window.
I have checked the behavior of Adobe Reader standalone and the web-browser
plugin. 
The /NewWindow flag works as expected in standalone mode, but the plugin seems
to happily ignore it.
For external-links to non-PDF content (PDF: /URI action), the target obviously
opens in a new web-browser window when clicked from Adobe Reader standalone.
When viewed with the browser-plugin, the link always seems to target the
current tab/window.

Unless I'm missing something, implementing this in a way that is 100% compliant
with the XSL-FO Rec, is not possible...?

Changes applied to FOP Trunk.

see http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=651575&view=rev

For the moment, I'm leaving the bug open, given the limitations of the added
implementation...

Right. I'll have to adapt AreaTreeParser.setTraits() as well, since the
external-link Trait is no longer a simple String.

A bug or a missing feature, indeed. It is also not possible, AFAICT, to open a
different destination in the same document in a new window. Still, if I
interpret correctly, this is the expected behavior for show-destination="new",
no matter whether the destination is internal or external.

Not exactly. The above option controls whether the plugin is used altogether if
you enter a PDF address in the browser's address bar or click a hyperlink
targeting a PDF. If you disable it, then Adobe Reader or Acrobat is always used
standalone to view PDFs. There is another option that also relates to the
/NewWindow flag. On the General Tab, I have the possibility to disable "Open
cross-document links in the same window". This determines what happens if no
explicit value for the /NewWindow flag is specified. Only, this option does not
influence the behavior in the plugin; only relevant for standalone mode.

You're still looking for a work-around. I told you, there's none. Someone needs
to implement this properly. There's no way around that. If you absolutely want
a work-around, you can try inserting that "NewWindow" flag using a third-party
PDF library (like PDFBox or iText). No guarantees that it'll work.

I don't think there is a work-around. "show-destination" on basic-link simply
has to be implemented. In PDFGoToRemote, the "NewWindow" entry has to be
implemented, too, and the two things have to be connected via the PDFRenderer.
Patches are welcome.
