To embed a PDF in a course:
1. Click object and in Properties panel set the action to Open URL or file.
2. Click the folder icon to locate and select the file
3. [IMPORTANT] Delete the first part of the location URL so that the name of the file only displays. For example, if you upload a file from your desktop with the location URL:

C:UsersUsernameDesktopJob Aid_Draft 6.pdf

Remove everything up to the file name itself, in this example, it is:

Job Aid_Draft 6.pdf
