Hi community,
I often provide pdfs in Rise. Is the setting possible that the document opens directly in a new window? Currently the download opens in the browser and the session window disappears behind it.
This confuses my users.
Have a nice weekend
Andrea
Hi Andrea!
I understand that you would like your PDF documents in Rise to open directly in a new window.
I'd like to know how you are embedding your PDFs, are you uploading them directly in Rise, or are they hosted on a different site, and embedded through an iFrame code?
I tried this out today. When I use the Multimedia Block to add a file, the form I upload automatically gets downloaded to the learner's system. Therefore, I created some introductory "How To" text to help them out. If the form could open in the course (or in a new window as Andrea asked for above), and they could fill it out and then download it, that would also be useful.
Hello Paula! I understand you wanted PDF files to open in a new tab or window instead of being downloaded from your Rise course.
You can check out Gren's suggestion in her comment on this forum post. Gren shared some helpful workarounds that you can try.
