How to use PDF Document Resources

Learn how to use PDF Document Resources to provide a way to view a PDF document directly using the App built-in PDF viewer

The mobile app has a built-in PDF viewer which ensures learners can view PDF documents without the need for a separate app and to ensure they remain inside the Forget Me Not app.

When creating PDF documents as a Learning Resource there are some things to consider:

  • Document Layout - use portrait over landscape for better layout in the learners device
    (see examples of both layout types)
  • Text Size - Consider the size of the text or image used in the source document - make sure it's large enough to read on a phone. The learner can zoom in, but small fonts will need a lot of zooming
  • Link to the Parent Website - Linking to the parent website when documents / and paths are updated often, so the link doesn't break (see Website Resources).
  • Link directly to the PDF Document - Linking directly to the document means the document opens in the App built in PDF view
  • Links directly to the PDF Document on a Sharepoint Site - If you want the PDF to open in the built-in view then links directly to a PDF Document on a Sharepoint site must be created using the following process;
    1. Open the PDF in SharePoint.
    2. Then select Open in Browser.
    3. Copy the direct PDF link from the browser URL bar
      e.g., https://acme.sharepoint.com/sites/AcmeCampaigns/Shared%20Documents/General/Campaign%20Poster/Campaign-Poster.pdf
