Insert PDF into Rise

Hi John, I can't help you but maybe you can help me. How did you get the PDF into to Rise in the first place? L 

Hi there, John -- It sounds like you're copying the text from a PDF document, and then pasting that text into your Rise course. Is that right? When you paste the text, a formatting box should appear with options to change the size, color, add bullets, etc. Let me know if that's what you were thinking of! 

Hey, Sparkle ELearning -- do you want to embed a PDF in Rise? If the PDF is hosted on the web somewhere, you can embed it using a Multimedia Embed block. You can also use an Attachment block if the file is not hosted on the web. 

I also want to attach a PDF under a video and photos Lesson (I'm on a Mac). Where is the Attachment Block?

Thanks,

Beverly

Hi Beverly

it's under the Multimedia category

It doesn’t upload a PDF text file from Keynote on a Mac

YES it worked!

thanks,

Beverly

Great news Beverly - good luck with your project :-)

One more thing -
I want to add the PDF Multimedia Block under the video - but there isn’t always a + sign to do it -
There are only single blocks to choose from but there isn’t a multimedia one listed.

OK Wendy - I see how to do it - go to All Blocks.

In addition:

How do I add a separate designation in the Side-Bar -
I have 3

1 Movement

2 Social

3 Learning with lessons under each

and now want to add a 4th but only end up with another lesson under 3 Learning

4 Review

Thanks,

Beverly

Hi Beverly

when you create the lesson click Shift enter to make it a section 

Is the Multimedia Attachment the only section we can upload PDFs? 

Yes, this is the only way.

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!

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. 

Hello! I am trying to embed a PDF into Rise 360 using the Multimedia block. I have taken the following steps. 

1. Pdf file uploaded into Scribd to be webhosted

2. enter iframe code 

<iframe src="https://www.scribd.com/document/427464661/Insider-Trading-Policy-04-03-2018"></iframe>

4. copy/paste in multimedia block in rise 360

I receive no error message. However, the area is completely blank when i preview

Am I missing something? 

Hi there, Heidi! You're really close. The URL you shared above is the link to the page where your document can be seen, but you'll need to get the embed code from that page.

Check out this little Rise 360 course I made to show you what I mean and to see how your document looks using the multimedia embed block.

Let me know if you have any questions!

How did you do this?

Hi Melissa!

Do you need help embedding a PDF in your Rise 360 lesson?

Is the PDF hosted on a web server? If you have a URL, use the formula <iframe src="URL"></iframe>. Just replace URL with the link for the PDF document. 

Let me know if that's what you had in mind!

Thank you!

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?
