[Tex/LaTex] How to return to original .pdf presentation after open a .pdf linked file

beamerhyperref

I'm preparing a beamer presentation and I'm using hyperlinks for the first time;
When I do something like:

\href{name_file_to_open.pdf}{here I put a link to a figure which is working well}

It works just fine and open the .pdf document;
Problem is I can't return to my presentation, cause when I close the linked.pdf I close it all.
(I try this with movie and indicating an area to the file open like \href[width=3cm,height=2cm] but then it doesn't work)

Can anyone please has any suggestion to this problem?

Best Answer

Try using the pdfnewwindow option of the hyperref package:

make links that open another PDF file start a new window

You can either use it directly with the \href command

\href[pdfnewwindow]{name_file_to_open.pdf}{here I put a link to a figure which is working well}

or change the default behaviour for all links by specifying

\hypersetup{pdfnewwindow}

Now the existing document isn't "overwritten" by the new PDF file any more, so you can simply return to the presentation by closing the linked document (tested with Adobe Reader X).
