PDF on LMS is not available

Apr 06, 2016

Hello,

I'm new in using Articulate storyline. I created a course with PDF documents, which are inserted in the story_content folder. The exported version as exe-file works. So the link is correct. In the version for the LMS (Saba) nothing happens, if I click on the linked element. I changed the writing (underscore, space etc..), no animation, no makros, no HTML5 export. But the pdf document is not opening. Have you any idea what could be another reason for this behaviour?

Hi, Sandra -- Thanks so much for reaching out! May I ask how you have added your PDFs to your course? Did you use hyperlinks as described here, or are you utilizing the Resources tab as noted in this article? And, may I ask if you are also finding your PDFs to be inaccessible if you test your course in the SCORM Cloud, as well?

Hi Sandra

when you say you  stored the pdf docs in the published folder - that is normally what happens when storyline publishes your .story file and packages up the files from their location (normally on your local drive). So in your content you would have a button or a link that has the trigger to 'jump to file xx' when user clicks.  The file being stored on your local drive. Then when you publish Storyline puts them into the story_content/external_files folder.  Is this where you are seeing them?

Hi Wendy,

thank you so much for your reply!

So, what I've done: I insert the link in the trigger-assistant: Folder: File:story_content/

After publishing the course, I insert the corresponding pdf document in the folder story_content.

The exported version for cd works, the exported version for the LMS (SCORM) not. Is there any work-around or trick or little issue I've failed to recognize?
