Adding a pdf file to a callout box in Storyline

Hello. I am mostly working in Rise and I am quite new to Storyline. I have a request to insert resources in the course as downloadable files in a callout box - I attached an example. This is not possible in Rise, so I have to import a Storyline block. How do I add a pdf to a callout box in Storyline? What I managed to do is add the file as a resource, but that is not what I am looking for.

I attached the example of what I am trying to achieve. Thanks! 

 

  • You can highlight the text and choose "insert>hyperlink"  that will open the trigger wizard where you can locate the file you want to add

      Thanks, Ron! My apologies - this is definitely the wrong picture! This is what I was supposed to attach. It is a similar concept, but instead of a hyperlink, I have a pdf file. 

  • In that case you could just insert the image/icon of the PDF folder and then insert a trigger to do the same thing as the hyperlink.

      Thanks, Ron! Does this mean that the pdf would need to be stored somewhere as opposed to Rise, where you can just upload a pdf file from your computer?
