How to open URLs in pdfs in new tab on internet

I have seen the following forum, but the options are different and the Acrobat answer at the bottom is about displaying pdf in broswer (not what I am after) How do I open hyperlinks inside embedded pdf in a new window? (JavaScript)

I have a pdf I have uploaded to a website with a couple of links/URLs in, that when clicked by a user, I would like to open in a new tab (where currently they are open in the same frame).

I looked a 'Document JavaScripts', but did not seem to do anything.

Please help!
Using Acrobat Pro.

Many thanks.

Sure there are. Did you look under the Properties of your button field?

If you're not seeing it then click on Tools - Prepare Form and then click on "More" at the right side of the window and then on "Revert to Acrobat Form".
