How to open PDF within rise block with completion trigger
Hope the community can help here?
Requirement: Users to have to click and view/download a PDF within a Rise course but it has to have completion trigger to enable a Divider underneath. Which only becomes clickable once the file has been openned.
Storyline Triggers: I've made a storyline block with a completion trigger Complete course when user clicks hotspot. The other trigger is Open URL/File when the user clicks the same hotspot.
Issue: The problem is when I select the file the path is my own C Drive rather than the PDF. I don't want to use the Resources tab has it doesnt look aesthetically good within Rise.
Tried: I have tried to use the path "story_content/external_files_PDF name " but I believe this will only work on a published SCORM file, rather than an embedded Storyline block within Rise.
is what I'm hoping to achieve possible?

You can open a PDF using a button/hotspot on a Storyline slide so the PDF will open the same way it would if it were in the Resources.
That is done with the Open URL/file trigger. However, you don't directly enter the URL for your drive. Instead, use the More (...) button to browse for the PDF on your drive. When you do that, Storyline uploads the PDF into the project.
