Embedding PDF files to open up in a frame with a RISE 360 page
Hi Everyone,
I have been adding PDF files to a RISE course page, as multimedia items that you can attach to the page. Although this gets the content into RISE, it does not open within a frame (li...
Thank you Christopher and Ginger. Ginger, I watched your video and the information was extremely helpful. The current issue I am having is that I need to be able to embed a PDF file into a test course I created in Rise. The PDF file is embedded within our LMS, which is D2L. Should I be able to use the link from the LMS in the embed code, or does the file have to be hosted somewhere else online such as a regular website, or in Google Docs? Also, for this file and others, I am not sure how you go about obtaining the embed code. I know that once I work with this a couple times it should be clearer and more like second nature. Since I am new to working with embed coding, any additional help you can provide is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Dana,
You can still probably use the link to your PDF from your D2L course. There might be a way to grab that URL directly from them, but I am thinking your learners might be prompted to log in to D2L. You will have to connect with your LMS support to check on this.
Depending on where you have your files hosted, they may either provide an embed code or just the share link.
If just the share link, you can just use the following syntax Ginger and I used in our examples. Just replace the URL part in the src part of the code with your PDF file URL.
