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 table which is pdf's word doc.
I can't see an option to insert a doc so I'm wondering whether this is not something that is achievable in Storyline?
Thanks,
Louis

Ok so I've followed this but when I attempt to preview the file nothing happens, I am using a transparent player and I'm not sure whether this is making a difference?

The links won't work until you publish and upload the content to some server.
Louis,
Please let us know if you're still having difficulty after going through the steps mentioned.

I've uploaded the document to the external files folder in the story_content but when I open the 'story' (html document), the 'story' (swf file) or the 'story_unsupported' files the document does not open. On the other hand the 'story_html5' version does open the document.
Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Hi Louis,
Are you testing the published output within the intended environment? You'll want to test as described here.
Hi Venkat,
If you can tell me more about what you're looking to do, I can point you in the right direction!
Are you trying to hyperlink a PDF file in Storyline? If so, is the PDF hosted on a web server?
