Will Captivate 2017 open an online pdf link?

I'm trying to get Captivate 2017 to open a pdf that I have online after a button is clicked.

I thought that the open url option in the properties panel would do it but it's not.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you are testing this from your local PC, upload your content to a web server or LMS and test it from there.  Your link may be blocked due to browser security (if HTML5 output) or Flash Global Security (if SWF output).  Testing from the web is preferred.
