I have created a number of learning events that have resources for the learner. They are in some slides as a trigger, and they are also in the Resources Tab
I have recently resaved all my files onto a remote server. I now find that when I review the learning events, the PDFs and spreadsheet triggers work fine, and also work correctly from the Resources Tab
When you say you're viewing the content from a remote server, do you mean a web server or a network drive/server? To properly test your course, please make sure you've uploaded the content to a web server or LMS for testing. If you try to view the published output locally, or from an external source (other than a web server or LMS) you may run into some issues with restrictions.
When working with your files:
1. Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior.
2. You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
3. Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names.

If you view published Storyline content on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail.
To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review the following article for details:

Oops - I have just checked my files, the links to PDF files and spreadsheets are not working correctly, so it is worse than I previously thought.
Hoping for a miracle!!
