I've been searching and I'm trying to find the best way to display two PDFs for learners within a lightbox in Storyline. I've converted the PDFs to images (jpegs), however, when reviewing the published file, the images are small and not very clear. Even adding the "Zoom" icon, doesn't really enlarge the images that much. I'm trying to avoid adding the documents to the Resource tab, as we want the learners to stay within the same window. This is the goal. Any tips and tricks you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thank you, but it doesn't look like the links on "how" to achieve this is available anymore. I get 404 Error. However, the instructions on how to hyperlink using Web objects, text, etc. to the documents are working.
Generally, you need to have the PDF on a server and get a URL you can insert as a web object. However, you can create an html file on your local drive and add as a URL. Here is a solution that should work.

You can insert the PDF on a slide. And then use that slide as a lightbox. Here's an older post that discusses how.
