Adding a PDF to a file that users can print
Sep 19, 2017
Hey,
I am building a library of resources for a team and want to embed some PDFs. The ask from the SME is that the open in a PDF reader so they can then print them off. I have followed the step-by-step process in this thread, but can't seem to get it to work. I must be doing something wrong given the feedback in the same thread. I'm not a codey person...
Am I amending the right part of the code (see attached)?
Do I need to publish and upload to the web to see if it works?
I did manage to upload something last week and when launching it just says 'Initialising' when attempting to open the document. I can't remember what I did though!
Is there a Screenr out there showing this at all? I've looked and looked, but so far nothing.
Thanks,
Ian

I use the jump to URL/file trigger. It opens pdf files in the learner's default reader.
The drawback to this method may be that when you publish, it packs up the pdf as part of the published package.
And yes, you have to publish for it to be active.
Yeah, that's what I was finding. I went back to the process in the original thread mentioned above and managed to sort it.
When I was naming my document I just included the document, and not the whole path including server etc. Now i've got it working (thanks to my colleague who knows way more about coding etc than I do)
