Embed a PDF into a Rise course
Hi
I am trying to embed PDFs into a Rise course.
Please advise; how do I do this?
Thanks
Donna
Hi, Ive been using the option Victoria Blacik suggested for almost 2 years now, all of a sudden it keeps wanting to download it instead of displaying it, but it works when I use a different url. Any advice?
Hi Janelle!
It looks like you are using the URL of a PDF file you uploaded in an Attachment block in an iFrame code in your Embed block.
We've noticed a behavior change when clicking an Attachment block, where the PDF file gets downloaded instead of being opened in a new browser tab. This seems related to the issue you reported where embedding the Attachment block (using iFrame) also downloads the PDF file.
We've shared this with our team, and we'll keep this thread posted on any updates that can help!
In the meantime, here are some of the workarounds that you can try:
- Use the direct URL of the Attachment block when embedding the PDF file (don't use an iFrame code).
- Upload the PDF file to another web server, and use the URL in the iFrame code in the Embed block.
- Publish the Rise 360 course with the Attachment block to Review 360. In the published Review 360 course, get the URL of the Attachment block (right-click, Copy link address), then use this URL in the iFrame code in an Embed block in Rise.
Please let me know if you have additional questions or clarifications!
Thank you so much! That worked!
