Note that the Open URL/file trigger includes the word "file." 

  • If you paste a URL in the trigger, the trigger will go to that URL/website. 
  • If you browse and select a file on your desktop or network, Storyline will save that file as part of the project. In other words, the file will be included as part of the SCORM package.

 

The image I attached in my previous reply shows where to click in the Trigger Wizard so you can browse and attach a file.

If the browser can't open a file, the file will download. So if you attach a file, you may want to include appropriate instructions about what will happen.

FYI: You can see how a PDF attachment works here: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/3601a447-7ea0-4ff3-bae1-d6741cfcd261/review
