Deep linking into PDF Storyline Jun 22, 2016 By Phil Mayor I am trying to deep link inside a Pdf inside Storyline The PDF is here Now normally I would append #page=6 to the Url so it would become http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/193412/1/9789241549097_eng.pdf#page=6 This doesnt work, I have tried downloading pdf and adding as a resource but still cannot get it to deep link, any ideas why?
