Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to convert a SCORM package to a Word or PDF document? I'm trying to figure out a way to easily extract all the text.
Yes there is. If you hit the publish button, you'll find that one of the options is to publish as a Word file and it gives the option of a couple of sizes and it lets you choose whether you want it to print the layers etc. It's helpful to get a Word version sometimes.
I use the publish to Word feature frequently to create handouts. The caveat is that it only creates screen captures of each slide — you don't get the actual text.
There is another way to get the text out of a Storyline file: Go to FILE > Translation > Export to Word. Do not select "Include original text column."
The Word document will be a table with all the text in the document (masters, layers, feedback, etc.). I used this feature to allow my SME to make major edits on several slides; she wanted to work with the text rather than marking up a hard copy or commenting in Review.
The cool part is that if you keep the table and all the formatting, you can import it back into Storyline, with everything going back into the proper place and the formatting intact.
If you literally just need the text, it's easy enough to eliminate the ID tags and convert the table to text.
Yes to your questions above. I am having the same question. I was provided with the output file and not able to access the storyline file. Is this possible?

Hope that helps.
By `SCORM package` do you mean content that`s already been published for LMS? The options mentioned above only work if you have the .story file.
