Linking to a PDF from a CD

Hello,

I am trying to open a PDF from a hyperlink on a slide, then publish it via "CD"

When I publish the file using "CD" I play the Launch_Story.exe on my desktop it works fine but when I burn all the files to a physical CD the link is not working.

I have tried changing the path in the "Jump to URL/File" in the trigger but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?

    Hi Tom, 

    Can you tell us what occurs when you try to open the link from the CD? Does it not open at all or the course freeezes?

    When you publish content for CD or another offline location (DVD, kiosk, etc.), hyperlinks in the published output will always open in Internet Explorer—even if a different browser is the default browser. This is by design. Content published for CD launches in a form that's based on Internet Explorer, which is why hyperlinks also open in Internet Explorer.

      Hello Ashley,

      Is there a way to open hyperlinks in the CD published output on other browsers not just in Internet Explorer ??

      Thanks for the help!

      Thank you Leslie,
      in the future updates I hop there will be a solution to open Hyperlinks in other browsers.
