Can you publish Storyline 360 to a PDF?
My company is no longer using Microsoft Office. We have to use Google suite, which means I cannot publish my Storyline 360 file to Word. Can you publish a Storyline 360 file to a PDF?
WOW, I don't think it can be done. I think it is in your company's best interest to get you a copy of Office. I would explain the situation to them. And see what they will do.
Good luck
There are probably Word to PDF online converters you could use.
You can output to Word and Google Docs can import the file. I just did a test of the translation feature where I output to .docx and then imported to Google, made edits, and saved back out as .docx and it worked.
Note: I misread this and was referring to the translation feature.
I'm in the same situation. We are also on Macs here, so using Parallels to run Storyline. When I attempt to publish as a word doc, I receive an error. Unfortunately, in order to publish to Word, it looks like you have to have Microsoft Word on your machine. I regularly am open to open docx files in Google Docs, but the issue is I can't create the docx file.
It's been a while, but I believe I ran into this issue years ago while working on a machine without Word. At the time it was as simple as moving to another machine with Office and Storyline, but I could not publish to Word without having Word installed.
I tried to submit a feature request on this, but can't seem to get one submitted. Since Rise has the option to publish the course as a pdf, it would be great if you could do the same in Storyline.
Hello Brandon,
Yes, you are correct. You'll need to have Microsoft Office installed to use the "Publish to Word" feature of Storyline 360. Here's the complete list of System Requirements for Storyline 360:
