Links to Intranet pdf's not working

Feb 25, 2013

Hi

I have some buttons hyperlinking to pdf's located on an intranet. The links are not working - client gets an error message. Any advice?

Thanks,

Lucia

Hi Lucia,

Can share the error with us? It may help in determining the cause. 

Is this just happening for one specific person, or anyone that attempts to view the PDF?

Right off the bat, first thing I would check is the name of the file. Are there any spaces, underscores, or any other special characters in the name? If so, try removing them and see if the link works properly.

Lucia,

if they cut/past the hyperlink in a new browser window, does it work?

Is your course deployed on a server, or on a workstation machine (normal PC) ?

It might be that a firewall is preventing the server upon which you deployed your course is preventing access.

An other reason could be Macromedia security settings preventing to access to the intranet.

try this link on the clients site

Hi Lucia,

I do not have enough experience in this. I know we had issues when publishing our Articulate presenter training courses on our intranet. We had all kinds of policies running which prevented us from publishing it; We used to use Sharepoint (luckily no more) and most of our problems are solved.

Does this company have an IT section/department/service with whom you can discuss ?
