Print and Downloading Options in Storyline for the Slide

Hi Apoorv!

I wanted to share some printing in Storyline discussions that you might find helpful:

• How to print a slide? (Particularly Ashley's reply that notes where you can access our sample code that allows you to print any slide from a button on the course player.)
• Print ANYTHING in Storyline

I hope these resources help, and we'll still be here to help if you have any more questions! Let us know how you make out!

Thanks, Katie,

Thanks for sharing positive reply, But I want to print only the slide, not the complete player. 

Is there any code to hide seek bar and top bar?

I just need a printout of the slide.

Thanks

Apoorv

Thanks for the follow up, Apoorv!

While custom JavaScript is not something that Articulate can assist with, many folks will turn the Print Results report into a certificate for learners to print or save. You can customize the report.html file in your published output to behave as you'd like. More on that here. Maybe not ideal – but perhaps removing the player from the course is another option?

I hope the resources I provided helped a bit, and I'll open the floor to the community now in case anyone is able to share their custom code with you.

Hello Katie,

Thank you so much, Katie, for help. I'll try this and get back to you.

There are discussions about this way back from 2013 that I have found, and still no real solution for this?  Storyline is such an intuitive program I can't believe this obvious feature hasn't been written into the software yet?  Is it even in the works for anticipation sake?

Hi Shannon.  Thanks for chiming in.  It sounds like you wanted your users to have the ability to print the slide contents without the player. Storyline will run the print screen JavaScript command, but that includes the whole window.

Do you need your users to have access to all of the slides, or do you have certain slides that are helpful to have printed?  Some folks will attach a document in the Resources section of the player that will contain content to print.  If you need the whole course to be printable, you can publish the course for Word and attach that doc in Resources.

Feel free to tell us a little more about what you need, and we'll see what the community has to offer.

All I need is to be able to download and/or print a certificate of completion after they pass the test at the end of the course (no other pages).  To print it with the player is pretty tacky.   I know this has been a need and desire for years for many people.  I feel a little embarrassed that I can't deliver this to my client after creating a great course in storyline, it's our final crux.  His previous course that was built by another company allows you to download the certificate no problem, not sure what software they used to build it?    

Hi Shannon,

Have you tried the method here on creating a certificate?  That'll generate an HTML page that the user could print out, and it wouldn't include the player element. 

Hope that helps.
