Solved : Peculiar link problem in PDF.

["Sairam Prasath.D" <sairamprasath -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hi All,
      I came across a tool for setting the link
property - open in a new window.  (The below mail
explains the exact scenario.)

ISIToolbox Professional - www.imagesolutions.com

I'm able to set for all the links in one instance.

Thought of informing you all.

Regards,
Sairam.
