Back button functionality in PDF output

[suhas_bhat]

Hi All,
    I want to return from my PDF output back to my prompt page. I tried this using the back button but it does not appear in the PDF output, the back button functionality works fine in HTML output.

Is ther any way to use the back button functionality in PDF?

hi,

since PDF is a special report output format with his own specification, i dont see any way to implement a navigation option (like back e.g.) without third party tools.
But is it not an option to "restart" the report? means, just click on the blue arrow "run" button in the right top corner? this will rerun the report specification and will offer you to insert the paramater again?!

regards

Hmmm.. yes looks like that is the only option. I guess even java scripts are useles here as they work only with HTML pages.
