Can I insert a PDF into a course slide?
Hi All,
Does anyone know if I can add a PDF document to be viewed as a slide?
I want to insert a glossary into my course and I would like to do this using a lightbox slide which contains a tabl...
Hi, all. These are all fairly old posts, and there's probably an updated version relevant that I haven't seen for Storyline 360 as well as the demise of Flash/SWF support in modern browsers. First, as most of us probably know now, you can't use the old "embed src=" code. You have to use "iframe src=" and you don't need to add all the parameters. Keep it simple, unless you want to hone your HTML skills. Here's the index file code I use:
<html>
<title>Embedded PDF</title>
<body>
<iframe src="YOURFILENAMEHERE.pdf" width="100%" height="500px"</iframe>
</body>
</html>
I've attached a video of the steps to embed the file. This is to embed the PDF directly in your course so you don't have to launch the user to a new window or refer them to the Resources. If there's a better way, I'm happy to hear about it. This method is a little clunky, but it's the only way I've been able to make it work. (By the way, if anyone cares, I did the screen recording in Peek 360. It worked well, but there are some UX considerations that I hope are evolving.)
How does this process work for multiple PDF files within a single course?
Hi Diana and everyone in the thread,
I've recently created a tutorial video that addresses embedding and attaching PDFs in Articulate Storyline courses. A solution for embedding multiple PDF files is also included!
I hope it helps and a big thanks to Phillip Loughlin from providing the HTML code.
Hi Georg!
Thanks for sharing! I'm sure other users discovering this thread will find the steps very helpful!
Have a great start to your week!
