A storyline PDF does not display in full height when added to Rise
I have SL project that only contains a web object for a .pdf file.
This project is published to Review 360 and added as a SL item in Rise.
The .pdf does display, however I cannot get the pdf to display using the full height provided in Rise. There is a significant amount of white space that I would like the file to consume.
Here is my process:
- Added a web object to a slide in SL.
- The .pdf file and the index.html file are in the same folder.
- Index.html file:
<html>
<title>Calculator PDF</title>
<body>
<iframe src="Calculator.pdf" style="height:100%;width:100%">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
The file displays in Rise, but has extra space I would like to use. I have attached images to help communicate what I am seeing.
Appreciate any help you can provide.
I have fixed my issue. I am not sure however, what was the actual fix as I did not verify.
- I re-pdf the file
- Instead of publishing the entire story I published just the slide
- That project then displayed correctly in Rise.

Hello lguilfoyle,
Thanks for reaching out! I want to confirm that our team is actively tracking a bug where the iframe is not displaying the correct dimensions in Rise 360. I have added your voice to the report. We'll update this thread with any news of a fix!
In the meantime, I'd like to suggest changing the pixel value to increase the height of your PDF.
Here's an example:
<html>
<title>Calculator PDF</title>
<body>
<iframe src=“Calculator.pdf” style=“height:500px;width:100%“>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>By changing 100% to 500px, you could see a change in the sizing. If that size is still small, try 600 or 700 px to see how it displays when previewing in Rise.
If you have any other questions, please let us know.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you for the suggestion, however that is what I had started with. Using specific pixel for height did not work so that is when I went to the percent.
Additional things that I had tried:
- Use the SL to scale with slide option for the web object, but that creates a blurry display of the pdf.
- Changing the slide size and scaling the web object to match and making sure the html file was updated to reflect that change.
- I even tried changing it from 4:3 to 16:9, the width changed, but height was non-responsive even when customizing the height.
Hello lguilfoyle,
Thanks for the additional information. I'd recommend sharing a copy of your Rise 360 course with us by connecting with our support team so we can explore other workarounds while we address the bug that Luciana mentioned.
Maybe of interest for your developers.
When I change the Storyline width in Rise, the height scale is appropriate - no extra space.
However, when I change to medium (or full width) the height does not display correctly.
