I used the JavaScript print command and it worked perfectly. I printed the certificate once the file had been uploaded to our server and it printed in portrait. Smaller than I wanted, but okay to use. However, once the file was loaded to the LMS, the certificate printed landscape but the file was still portrait so it cut off the right side of the certificate. Do you know what may be causing this? Thanks!
And you may already have this information, but I also wanted to note that although we don't provide support for JavaScript, it may be helpful to take a look at this document on JavaScript Best Practices. Hopefully, some of our experts in the community can chime in with other suggestions! :)
Thanks Cristie. Unfortunately I found that I could not write a code to change the page settings to print landscape, so I used the JavaScript for a pop up message box to tell the learner to switch the printer preference to Landscape to print the certificate. The script is below:
window.alert(‘To print your certificate, change your printer preference to Landscape.’)
The learner then has to read/click through the message to print the certificate.
I see, Lyn -- Thank you for the update, and if you should need further JS support, I'd have to defer to the community to assist. Best of luck with your project! :)

Hi, Lyn -
There's a pretty awesome thread posted by Steve Flowers that may help you get your certificate set up for printing.
Take a look: Example files: Generating a certificate from Storyline

Lyn, is the script you use for the popup message part of the 'Print' button?
