Import a PDF file into Storyline

Hello,

Are there any plans to add pdf as an importable file for Storyline?

Thank you.

  • Hi Kim - I'll defer to Articulate Staff on coming features, but in the meantime you could embed your PDF in a web object. It's not the same as a true embed, but it's at least an one option.

     

  • Hi Kimberley,

    In Storyline, you can add a PDF for your users in a few different ways.

    For example, using the “Jump to URL/File” trigger.

    Before creating the trigger, make sure your PDF file is located on your local drive. Reference this article for an in-depth explanation on how to use the “Jump to URL/File” trigger.

    Check out some other options available in this conversation.

    After these steps, you’ll want to publish your course to see how the PDF opens for your users. I typically use Review360 for a quick preview of my courses.

  • Old thread, but still very relevant. If you want to take a PDF and import it in as slides, which O think is actually what a lot of people want to do, there are a few steps you can take.

    Open your PDF in adobe acrobat, export it as a Powerpoint presentation.

    Then, import the PPT presentation into Storyline.  

    Done.

  • Hello

    This is an excellent idea provided you have a way to convert a pdf to ppt but the idea is very good and simple indeed. thank you
