Hi Lesley -
We have this problem when users open the course in Google Chrome. In IE, the pdf would open as a separate tab so if the user x'd out of the tab, the course showed up. In Chrome, the window opens on top of the course window, but x'ing the pdf window closes both windows. We have found two work-arounds (neither of which is completely reliable). The best way is to hover over the Chrome icon on the bottom bar. Two (or more) windows will be there, one of which is the course. Alternatively, sometimes you can minimize (not x) the pdf window and the course window will be there. But sometimes it's the launch window. If it's the launch window, the course window will usually be there someplace, just still hiding.
Like you, we've gone to primarily adding the files as separate components of the course when we build it in our LMS. However, the flow is just not as good.
