Link a pdf document in Engage´13

Hello,
I downloaded the trial version of articulate'13, I'm trying to link pdf files in Engage, I remember that in the previous version could do so by entering in the hyperlink file path (eg / data/downloads/file1.pdf). In this version, when I put the path to the example and publish the file in Presenter, I get in front of the path (http://), which the link leads me to a url that does not exist. Is there any way to do this in the '13 version?
Sorry for my English. Thanks

Hello.
I have the same issue - posted it today without seeing your post.

The only workaround I see yet, is to put the files on a separate Webspace and link to this.
Hope there is a more comfortable solution than this.

I've thought about that solution, but I need my documents are within the SCORM package. If I don´t find solution using Articulate, I'll think about using other authoring tools. Thanks for your reply Roman.
Hi Nieves and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
An answer was posted on Romans thread by Ashley.
This is due Engage 13 not supporting file hyperlinks, but if you need to hyperlink to a file, upload it to a web server, then link to the file's URL. (Free file storage is offered by many online services, such as Amazon, Dropbox, Microsoft, and Google.)
Ok, thanks for the quick response but I think it was a very useful function of engage. I'll try using alternative methods.
Sounds great Nieves. If you would like to submit that in a feature request, you can do so here.
hello.
Thats a step backward in functionality.
By updating the engagefiles from V09 to V13every file has to been checked additionally :-(
I made a feature request to this case.
greetings, roman
Thanks Roman! Those requests go to our development team, so that's helpful
Have there been an update to this feature?
Hi SIM!
Our support remains the same for this functionality.
You can check out our tutorial on adding hyperlinks in Engage here.
How can I add a hyperlink in the engage which is a Lotus Notes database link? which start with notes:// rather than http:// ?
In Engage 09, it works very well.
Hi Tsang!
File hyperlinks are not supported in Engage '13. You can read the details here.
Hello,
Using presentation_content/external_files/my_file.pdf in Engage'13 instead of data/downloads/my_file.pdf solves the issue.

Thank you Sergey - your response was exactly what I was looking for!
Hi D! Love when the older threads are still assisting customers. Thanks for popping in to share that this worked for you as well :)
