My PDF won't open on the LMS

A number of people have reported problems trying to get access to attachments such as PDFs through the La Trobe LMS when using their iPad.

There is a simple solution to this problem, but you have to make sure you are viewing the LMS using the right theme designed for mobile use!  Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and you will see a link which says:
Switch to the recommended theme for my device

Tap on this link and you will see the page reformatted for the iPad.

You will then see a little paperclip icon at the top righthand corner of PDF attachments.  Tap on the paperclip to view the PDF, and then tap again in the middle of the PDF to allow opening in another program.

We have created a short video tutorial to step through this process.  See this below:
