Convert Storyline content to PDF?
Hi there!
My client wants to create an area on their LMS where anyone can access "basic content" stripped of exam material to encourage employees to learn beyond their current positions and/or qu...
Hi Holly,
Good question; I'd be happy to share some insights into it. There are no plans to add a publish to PDF feature in Storyline, but I recommend using these steps instead:
- Publish your Storyline project to Word to your local hard drive.
- Download an installer online for a Word to PDF converter. These products won't require you to upload the Word document to the cloud since you can use the one saved on your hard drive. This satisfies the security requirements of your organization.
- Convert the published Word document to PDF using the converter. I understand that you don't use Microsoft Office products, and that's fine because you won't need to open the document in Microsoft Word when converting it to PDF.
Let me know if you have questions, and I'll be more than happy to assist further.
Unfortunately, I'm not authorized to download external software to my company computer. But beyond that, the problem I'm having is that Publishing to Word produces no files. Storyline goes through the motions, and I get the pop up confirming it's completed, and then can't open, view, or even find the files anywhere in my system after closing Storyline. Like I mentioned, that's an issue for a different thread. But I appreciate the suggestions anyway.
Edit: after some digging, the problem may be that our organization doesn't use Microsoft Office. Typically, I can upload Office files to Google Drive and use their built-in features to view. But it looks like Storyline has to have Word installed for the Publish to Word feature to work. That's a bummer.
