Just figured out a bit of a cheat to embed a pdf in a course.

1. Upload your PDF as a file attachment to your Rise course.

2. Right click on the download link in the file attachment box and copy the link address.

3. Insert an "Embed" block and use the copied link as the url.

Hi Victoria,

I tried your method, but was still able to maximize the document into Google Drive (and then download/print). Was there another step I missed?

  I'm having the same issue. When clicking the "pop out" icon, the link changes to a google drive location, but the pdf is not saved in a google drive. Any updates on this? Is this an Articulate thing?

    Hi Jenna! We use Embedly to embed rich media in Rise 360 courses. Embedded PDF files opening in Google Drive is a function of Embedly, so what you're seeing is expected behavior.
    
    You may be able to work around this by embedding the document in the lesson using an iFrame code. Use the formula <iframe src="URL"></iframe>, and just replace URL with the link for the PDF you want to embed.

Amazing, you just saved me from having to approve endless requests to access an external sharepoint folder link.
