Presenter 13 - publish to web - documents in resources

Feb 26, 2014

Hi All,

I have just completed a course using Articulate. I have made a module in Presenter 13 and published it to Web (as per the tutorial on here). I don't have an LMS at present.

I have uploaded it to Google Drive to share with my learners. It is all working well from the weblink from Google Drive - all the audio, images,  interactions, engage and quizmaker slides etc are fine.

I attached a number of PDFs in the resources tab and also some weblinks. The weblinks are all working fine, but the PDF attachments when clicked on come up with the error message:

"the webpage cannot be found, most likely causes

- there might be an error in the address

- if you clicked on a link, it may be out of date"

The webpage cannot be found

 HTTP 400
 

Most likely causes:

  • There might be a typing error in the address.
  • If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.

I am still using the free demo/trial of Articulate, so I'm not sure if that has any bearing on the issue? Or is it not possible to access PDF attachments/resources if you publish to web and not an LMS?

If anyone has any advice on what may be happening and how to fix it that would be great. I can attach more weblinks instead of the PDFs but it means people will have to look about on the web page to find what they are looking for (and I have to change my instructions throughout the module referring to the resources attached).

Thanks

Liza

I have Storyline 2 and I embedded documents into the Resource tab as described in the tutorial (https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-1/articles/attaching-resources-to-the-player ).  They are there and they open from the tab.  I put a link on a slide and I cannot get them to open from the link it tells me page not found.  I added this link ( story_content/external_files/myfile.doc ) to a trigger so that when they click a button or a link it is to open but it doesn't. I published my file to my online Articulate area still doesn't work.  Can anyone help out with this?
