Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your interest.
jeffmatt:Regarding GoToRemoteAction
I used your example of how to add link to external pdf, found
here.
The example shows:
link.Action = new GoToRemoteAction("C:\\Junk\\test.pdf", 2);
The example works fine, except for one issue: In Acrobat, it opens the remote document in the same window as the source document.
Can I force the external document to load into a new window in Acrobat Reader or any other comparable renderers? I am wondering if there is such a property as:
link.Action = new GoToRemoteAction("C:\\Junk\\test.pdf", 2, openInNewWindow);
I am not sure if the PDF standard supports this capability, but it would be nice if it did and even nicer if Aspose supports it.
You can open new document in new windows, use NewWindow property of GoToRemotaAction object to to specify destination document that should be opened in new window, while creating a Hyperlink. Please check following sample code, it will help you to accomplish the task.
....
....
Aspose.Pdf.Page
page = document.Pages[SourcePageNumber];
// create Link annotation object
Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.Annotations.LinkAnnotation link = new
Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.Annotations.LinkAnnotation(page,
new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(llx1,
lly1, urx1, ury1));
// create border object for
LinkAnnotation
Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.Annotations.Border border = new
Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.Annotations.Border(link);
// set the border width value as 0
border.Width = 1;
border.Style =
Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.Annotations.BorderStyle.Solid;
// set the border for LinkAnnotation
link.Border = border;
link.Color = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Blue;
// specify the link type as remote URI
link.Action = new
Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.GoToRemoteAction(aURL,
DestinationPageNumber);
(link.Action as GoToRemoteAction).NewWindow = ExtendedBoolean.True;
// add link annotation to annotations
collection of first page of PDF file
page.Annotations.Add(link);

jeffmatt: Regarding GoToAction
Visual Studio is showing a warning message that GoToAction() is deprecated. It also advised to use constructors when initializing it. This is ambiguous to me. Should I be fine with initializing it with constructors, or is the message intending to direct me to use some other method which is supposed to replace it?
Also, I can't succeed in using it because I am not clear on how to set the value of Destination. Please fill in what comes after this:
{ Destination = What goes here? }
I unsuccessfully tried new Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.IAppointment() since Destination tells me it is of that type.
In reference to GoToActions() only constructor without parameter is depreceted, you can use other overloads e.g.
double zoom = 1.5;
Document doc = new
Document(myDir + "35294.pdf");
GoToAction action = new
GoToAction(new
XYZExplicitDestination(doc.Pages[1],
doc.Pages[1].Rect.Width, doc.Pages[1].Rect.Height, zoom));
