Hi,
Is there a way to add a PDF file that has already been included in a Canvas course to a Stimulus in a New Quiz? A professor I work with needs his students to reference a PDF while completing a quiz. I have tried adding the PDF to the Simulus through the rich content editor and then having the PDF display inline. Students can interact with the PDF as they are taking the quiz; however, every time they submit the quiz, they get the following error message. Is there a way to fix this issue that does not involve using an embedding code? My school does not have Google Drive LTI integration or any other alternative; therefore, I can't embed the document from any cloud storage option. The publisher also does not allow us to modify the PDF in any way, shape, or form.
