Storyline 3 CD-ROM based test (Download button doesn't enable retrieval of Certificate)
Dec 22, 2017
Hi everyone,
I have created a test for my organization that generates a dynamic pdf certificate based on Ryan Lowry's example (see https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/storyline-2-example-generating-a-pdf-certificate-for-users-who-successfully-complete-a-quiz-html5).
In short, when I generate the output for either LMS or Web and test it locally or on the remote server, everything works just fine. The "Download Your Certificate" button on the Articulate slide opens a popup that enables one to download the dynamic pdf certificate. However, when I generate a CD-ROM version of the test the "Download Your Certificate" button never outputs the dynamic pdf certificate.
Any ideas as to why this is happening just with the CD-ROM version?
Many thanks,
Ted

Hi there Ted, happy to help you figure this out.
Can you tell me how you set up the "Download your Certificate" button? Are you using the same trigger as the default "Print Result" button in Storyline, or are you using Javascript?
Also, what version of Storyline are you using?
Dear Alyssa,
I am not using the default "Print Result " button but rather a trigger with Javascript.
The version of Storyline I am using is 3.
I have attached a working example. If you output to CD-ROM, you will see that the Download button does not work, however, for Web and LMS the problem does not exist.
What I am doing as a workaround solution is to create a CD-ROM running a portable web server with the web version of my test.
Many thanks for any help you can provide.
Does the PDF use a webpage to generate the PDF?
It may be a cross domain security issue that is preventing this working. Can you embed it as a web object instead for the CD?
It is already embedded as web object. See my attached example above.
Any other suggestions?
