In RIse, create a new MULTIMEDIA Block.
Select File Attachment as the type.
Select the Edit button on the left.
You will see a message No attachment added.
To the right of this message click Upload and select your file.
Hi again, Pat!
Check out the Multimedia > Attachment block! It makes it really easy to attach PDF files to your Rise 360 courses. Check out Adam's short video demo on Attachment blocks here!
Hi, can the PDF open within the Rise window? I added the PDF to the RISE lesson, but when clicked it opens a new browser window. I don't want to steer my users away from RISE.
Hi there, Beth. If you can host that PDF online, like in Google Cloud or Amazon S3, you could embed the PDF right into the lesson so your learners can view the content without leaving the tab. Once the PDF is hosted, you will use this code to embed it in your lesson using a multimedia embed block:
<iframe src="replace this with your URL"></iframe>
hi there
is it also possible to add PDF in storyline?
thanks for your reply

Hello,
Great thread!
Can I record that the pdf was launched in the LMS?
Thank you,
L
Or link pdf to a button and record that the button was clicked?
Thank you!
are you talking about rise or storyline?
Hi, Stephanie! Yes, you can add your PDF as a resource attachment in Storyline. Please see this article for directions.
Hello, L.A. Dick! While there isn't a way to track whether a learner downloads a PDF in Rise 360, could you embed the PDF directly in the Rise 360 lesson using a multimedia embed block? That way you can be sure the learner views it!
Many thanks Alyssa for your reply, in the meanwhile i have also found the article, however i am not able to insert any hyperlinks at all, the reason to include PDF is because every PPT that was created before is automatially reformatting while uploading in storyline, and i have to do all the formatting again, which is quite exhausting.
However when uploading a PDF does it appear normally in the slides, i have understood now from the article that a new window (word or pdf) will pop up, but its meant to be normally integrated in the slide.
could you kindly let me know whats the best solution? Its quite urgent
thanks in advance!

Hi Stephanie!
Thanks for sharing that screenshot! You should be able to hyperlink to a file by following the directions here. That should be helpful if you're trying to add the link to the PDF on the slide itself, rather than adding them as a resource attachment.
If you still help with adding your PDF into Storyline, you can share your project with us by opening a case here.Hi There
I used the button or button stack block in my course to link to a PDF, because I like how it keeps the course looking clean without directly embedding the PDF. When I click the button, it opens the PDF in a new tab, which is fine.
However, the issue is that the PDF doesn’t start from the beginning each time, it opens to the last page or section I was on when I last closed it. Is there a way to fix this so the PDF always opens from the beginning? Or, can you suggest a solution using this block or other options?
Thanks
Max
If the PDF you need to open resides on a web site, you can open a PDF file to a specific page by adding parameters to the PDF URL.
To target an HTML link to a specific page in a PDF file, add #page=[page number] to the end of the link URL.
For example, this HTML tag opens page 4 of a PDF file named myfile.pdf:
<A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4">

Thanks Renz for your swift reply. But this means it will always appear only as hyperlink first and then the user has to click on it in order to see the pdf? Its not possible to import pdfs normally as slides?
as mentioned i am having diffiulites in importing a PPT as it keeps reformatting, do you know what the issue is here?
Many thanks in advance for your answer
