Convert Storyline content to PDF?
Hi there!
My client wants to create an area on their LMS where anyone can access "basic content" stripped of exam material to encourage employees to learn beyond their current positions and/or qualifications.
The client wants this material in basic PDF format, with NO animations or audio.
Is there a way to convert Storyline content (or the HTML output in any form) to PDF? At the moment all I can see to do is take a screen print of each slide, then drop those into PowerPoint, then save the PowerPoint as a PDF file.
Please help - any suggestion less awkward than the above one would be appreciated.

There is a publishing option in Storyline to publish to Word. You could do this - do any edits that you require and then convert the Word document to PDF.

That's just fabulous! I've played around just a bit, and the hot tip seems to be:
- selecting Screen shot size of "large" and
- unchecking both "Show Layers" and "Show slide notes" (no layers to be concerned with, and no notes)
Then after conversion to Word I've
- charged layout to Landscape,
- deleted any content from Header and Footer areas, which lets me...
- stretch the image as large as possible on each page before saving as PDF.
I could not have asked for a more slick solution. Putting the Word option right in front of me on the Publish option slide is a little cruel (for a person who can't see any item in the fridge or on any pantry shelf if it is in the front row) however.
Did I mention you are wonderful? Just sayin... Thanks again.

For handling this problem, you just need an pdf converter to convert the html to pdf document to satisfy your client needs. As for how to convert html to pdf, you can check this pdf document reader that contains pdf converting components.
Hello Scott!
Great question! You can't change the states of hotspots, but you can change the states of shapes. Have you considered using a transparent shape instead of a hotspot?
Also, if it's a transparent shape, it won't show up in the printable version of the course.
Let me know if this works for you!

I checked Timothy's sharing. I found its PDF converting control can also convert html to PDF. Besides, PDF to html is also an available feature.

Hi everybody,
This threat helped me a great deal, thanks a lot. Is there also the possibility to export the subtitel texts to the word document?- PhilMayorSuper Hero
The CC text does nit export to the word document, unfortunately you need to export this one file at a a time
