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.
