Donwload Pdf from Storyline
All support files for learning modules should be packaged with the module. modules should be self contained and users should never be asked for required to access external links. Mainly because external links can and will break, depending on the location of the user, they may not have access to the link. It adds cognitive load as asking users to go externally breaks the focus. It is becoming common, mainly due to the practice of people putting in directory links in PPT files and excel files, to add external links as the excuse is "Its easier then to update the file". It does not apply to learning content and is never advisable or a good learning experience. The support documents should be relevant and required to aid users to advance in the module. A way around it is to embed the PDF though using the Web Object option. But do not expect anyone to download anything, they wont, they want to complete the course and move on. There are discussions already in the forums on how to do this though. Most of the people wanting this are usually process people and not learning experts and so they often need it explained to them.
