Embedding PDF in Rise
Hello,
I am trying to embed a pdf into a media block and/or process block in Rise 360. However, my employer doesn't permit the use of google drive, etc. to house the documents. Our main internal document sharing system does not appear to be compatible with Rise - can anyone advise if they support M365 SharePoint?

Hi PhoebeSterdan-0!
Happy to share some insight on this!
I have seen other community members embed SharePoint content into a Rise 360 course successfully. This related discussion may help you get started.
However, there are some caveats to be mindful of, that could possibly get in the way. One of which is encountering connectivity issues due to company firewall settings. If you run into any setbacks, and are comfortable sharing your embed link, we'd be happy to take a closer look!
After searching around I found a solution to this. There is a line in the index.html file that is associated with pdfs. (AICC publish btw, haven't looked in others) That line has code in Base64 that has the external, public facing link within the iframe embed. If you take that code and decode, change the link to the assets folder within scormcontent and the pdf [src="assets/pdfname.pdf"] then you can use pdfs locally instead of from a public facing location. this preserves pdf security. if you don't have a reliable way to alter the code, I have found that your company's internal chatGPT can do it for you after a bit of training. You will need to put a placeholder link in the iframe html code but then can replace it after. good luck!
