Insert PDF into Rise

When I copy and paste the contents of a Pdf into Rise, it loses some of the formatting. Is there a way to bring in the Pdf without losing the formatting?

Hi there, Jessie. If your PDF is hosted on your web server, you can also choose to embed it. Here's an example of how that would look.

Hi Crystal, 

Could you kindly point me to a tutorial/steps on how this is done?

Thank you!

Regards, 

Penny

    Sure thing, Penny. You can upload your PDF to your web server, or if you don't have one, you can use a service like Amazon S3.

    Grab the link, and in a multimedia embed block, either paste the URL , or use an iframe code like this:

    <iframe src="https://articulate-us.s3.amazonaws.com/support-share/ELH/Articulate_Storyline.pdf"></iframe>

    My example uses the iframe code so that the PDF appears right within the block rather than linking out on another browser tab.

      Thank you for explaining this! I always wondered what Amazon S3 was.

      Crystal, I know this post was AGES ago, but I really liked your example here. My PDF embed is showing up much smaller than yours is. Is there anything I need to do to make it appear nice and large like yours is? Or is it just a function of the embed code (mine is coming from Sharepoint, yours is coming from Adobe)?

        Hi Concetta! Would you be able to share the link to your PDF?
