Hi Sherry,
I'm assuming the PDF is being linked to from a website. Is that correct? Or was it linked to from a local file, but not added to your resources?
What you'll want to do is have a local copy of the PDF, and in the Player, add it to Resources within the course. So in Resources, you will be pointing to the local copy, rather than to a website.
Then, on the screen where you currently have the link to view, you'll want a trigger that opens the file. Use the path below:
story_content/external_files/NameOfFile.pdf
Basically, you will then be pointing to the location within the published course where the PDF exists.
This will not appear in preview mode, but should work in Articulate Review, and on the LMS.
