Hi, hopefully somebody can help: I want to attach a PDF file to a specific slide in Storyline 360. I am aware of the resources tab in the player but I believe that isn't an option in my case (because then I cannot control at what point in the training a participant can open an attachment?.
I'm making a case study where participants follow a client over time. They get several information updates (PDF files) when they progress. I don't want them to be able to open all the files at once, then the case study loses its function.
I did a google of "Storyline insert pdf" and found many articles that explain various ways to do what you want. Rather than choose an option for you, I recommend you try that search.
Can't you just use the "link to URL/file" trigger from a layer that appears only when certain criteria is met?
@Matthew Bibby - so there is no relative path name available in Storyline360? It would be useful if links just started at the working folder, not all the way back to C: drive etc? Sounds like a request is needed!

I've done that by placing the PDFs on the web and using a URL for them to access the files in particular slides.
Thanks Diane, is there also a possibility to do this without using the web?
I have seen a post that talks about how to do that but I don't remember how. I'll try to search for it later today.
