    I have used jpegs as previews and if a user clicks on image, it should open a new window showing the linked pdf.

    I tried first portfolio and linked a portfolio category to a page. But either way I use, clicking on the jpeg opens the pdf in same window.

    I tried than on page the avia image, but when I like to select a jpeg as preview, I get a media page with limited metadata display -> I do not see the filename.

    I tried a gallery, but can not set a link to a pdf, that opens in a new window or tab.

    Last I tried using icon box which worked fine, but only clicking on title of box links to the pdf, not clicking on image.

    I am a bit frustrated.

    Hey!

    I guess you are referring to the lightbox opening, please refer to this topic in order to disable it in certain images: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/prevent-image-or-link-from-opening-in-a-lightbox/

    Best regards,

    Hi Josue, no, thats not my case.

    I have a bulk of PDFs which are for download one by one. I tried using some ways collecting them and I like use as much design as possible. So I created from each PDF a small JPEG from frontpage which shall preview the PDF and linked to it.

    I tried portfolio which is good, put a featured image into each and linked that to the PDF. But if I use the portfolio element in a collecting page for showing the correspondent items, I may use behaviors in case were the item is opend: in a lightbox for example or in a new window (which doesn’t work – it opens in same window – the user leaves my site). Is it a bug?

    The other way I tried was using on page the avia element image, which can be linked too. That works fine, opens in a new window. But in this case my trouble is in selecting uploaded images in the media browser. My previews do have all the same title because it is a series. In this case Enfold uses the kind of media browser which is used if I select a featured image – it has a limited content/metadata view. I see only title and alternate text if I click in media browser on a thumbnail. But selecting here the right preview is not possible. Thats what I mention.

    Hey!

    The next update (see https://kriesi.at/support/topic/linking-the-iconbox/ ) will enable you to create an icon list (or icon box) with clickable tiles and icons. You can then use this elements to create a list of pdf links which will open in the same or new windows.

    Regards,
    Peter
