Insert a PDF in Articulate Storyline
Hi folks,
I want to insert a PDF doc in Articulate by using HTLM code.
As the folder containing PDF doc and Index.htlm containing the HTML code is located in our professional Sharepoint, an error message is displayed (access denied).
I guess it may be because we need to register and authentify ourselves when we access to our Sharepoint.
So my question is : how do you do guys to integrate a PDF in Storyline? Where do you store your integration file? I tried as well with Google Drive, but it's the same story.
Tks for you replies.
Cheers.
Hello SylvieC .
I've already encountered this kind of problem: heightened internal security of your own organization. I don't think Storyline can do much about it (this needs to be confirmed by other reviews). Perhaps your LMS manager and/or SOC could. What's more, these pdf files contained on your professional Sharepoint are undoubtedly intended to be updated regularly, so hopefully you won't need to rework the various training courses that use them as references. BUT ONLY if their addresses and names are strictly the same. Which is hypothetical, because changing the dates and version numbers of an updated file is encouraged, and there's a good chance that the links will die anyway. Feedback from personal experience. After much hesitation on the part of the customer's SOC, we opted to integrate the pdf files into the .story file. It is always possible to update the pdf files by finding them in the scorm export / story content / external_files etc. without reopening the .story. I hope this feedback helps you in your thinking.Hi Thierry and many thanks for your reply. I totally agree with you. Finally I have decided to upload the PDF file in Storyline in Resources. Thus it is easy for the learner to spot it and it works perfectly. However, I would still be very interested to get a feedback from other e-Learning heroes, as they may have some insights to share with us. Have a nice day.
