[ARCHIVED] Students viewing a PDF

[john_simpson]

For some reason my students cannot view a pdf that is in a module that I created.  I did not have this problem last semester.  Is this because it is a new semester?

 @john_simpson , greetings! As long as the PDF is part of the course the students are trying to view it from, it should be okay. Have you tried viewing your course in Student View to see if you can view the PDF? I'd try this first and see if you can see the PDF - How do I view a course as a test student using Student View? 

If not, then the next thing to check is if the PDF is protected or not. See the following guides for more information on this - How do I restrict files and folders to students in Canvas? & https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12745-4152314032 

Let me know if this helps! Kona
