I love this idea and am creating an online version of an employee handbook in Rise. Thing is, we still need to provide a PDF option too. I know Rise publishes to PDF but the result is not as good as what we currently have, so I've been experimenting with exporting it to Word to make changes -- add a real Table of Contents, for instance, and remove buttons that have no purpose in the printed version. Not sure all of this is sustainable going forward though. Anyone have any experience doing something similar? Please let me know if you have tips for editing a PDF efficiently!
What do you have for source documents? In my case, I'm using the MS Word files that were produced for for our print material. PDFs were originally intended as a means to present documents in a universally readable format, regardless of source. Editing PDFs is really meant to be more of a quick touch-up process for when you don't want to have to go to the original to make minor corrections. It's probably better if you use your original source material to make the PDF instead of the Rise course.
You could always print and choose "Save as PDF" but you'd have splits in images and text blocks just like regular print, and it'd be a nightmare to fix them.

- All good points. The goal of somehow using the Rise course for both the online version and a nicely formatted printed version is probably not practical. Thanks for the input. I'll probably keep a parallel Word version that I can update along with the RIse version.
