links to attachments in Presenter '13 not working
Sep 25, 2015
Hello all,
I have lots of questions lately. I have created a Reference tab in my eLearning module for my client using Presenter '13. However, the client has said that they want hyper-links to the reference documents in the slides themselves.
I have tried to do this the way I know how - by creating a text box or a button (actually I created both) and then in PPT going to "Insert/Hyper-Links/Existing File or Web Page", and then selecting the appropriate document from my computer.
When I publish the course for the web and view in my browser, the link doesn't work.
I then deleted the entire output folder from Articulate, add the same document to the Reference tab, re-publish , and the attachment opens up from the Reference tab, but still not from the link on the page!
Can anyone help? In reviewing past discussion histories, it seems this is a common issue in Articulate with no clear resolution.
Thank you, Barbara

Here's an image of what I'm talking about if it helps at all. I am SUPER sure the path is correct.
Hi Barbara,
When you're testing your published output are you doing so in the intended environment as described here? Within Presenter hyperlinking to a file isn't supported, but you could look at following the steps here.
Ashley - this was super, super helpful. I "followed the steps above" and it worked! :) Namely the instructions for "Hyperlinking to a Document".
I followed these instructions, republished and tested the new module and it all works as it should - the document opens up.
I'm bouncing around my office all happy.
Thanks again, Barbara
Thanks Barbara - and I heard you worked with Crystal as well, so I'm glad you were able to get the help you needed.
