Depends on the url, to hyperlink from some urls you have to follow rules to generate a url that will work from the internet and some may break conventions that Rise will not understand and break the link.
To add to what Phil said, there are are some scenarios where an internal link (inside your firewall) will not work. For example if your PDF document resides on SharePoint but your course is hosted in an external LMS, the internal SharePoint most likely will not work.
This happened to us, so we had to host our PDFs on our external web site, and get a true internet URL that we could add to our Rise courses that reside in an external LMS.

Yes there is a way.
You need to create some text to which the hyperlink will be attached, e.g. Click here to download the PDF.
Select that text and insert the hyperlink to the PDF.

Give Karls method a try, hopefully it works.

And Google intranets use illegal characters that then get mangled inside Rise
Thanks all!
