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">
