Cp 7: PDF not showing in web object widget

Hello,

In Captivate 7, I inserted a web object and directed it to retrieve a file (the PDF) instead of a web page. When I preview my project in a browser, the PDF does not appear. I've tried IE and Chrome. I assumed, because the widget allowed me to retrieve a file, that the widget was designed to show a PDF just as easily as it would a web page. Am I wrong?

My client wants the PDF to show up within the lesson, instead of on a separate web page. If the widget is designed for that, any advice you can give me is much appreciated. Thanks!

Upload all of the published files (including the PDF) to a web server and test it from there.  Testing this kind of thing locally can often fail.
