Creating a pdf file from Storyline running under an LMS
I know there are many excellent examples of how to create a pdf file in Storyline using javascript libraries such as jspdf and I have done this successfully in projects compiled for the web...

Hi John and Matt. I've used the Base64 method for background images but haven't tried the server method. What would that code look like? Apologies if this is super basic JavaScript.
Hi Mark
My code now looks like this:
//Create pdf
var doc = new jsPDF();
var img = new Image;
img.onload = function() {
doc.addImage(this, 'PNG', 0, 0, 210, 297);
doc.setFontSize(12);
then I add all the text to the document
doc.save('Inventory.pdf');
}
img.onerror = function(e) {
console.log("Error code",e);
}
img.crossOrigin = "";
img.src = "Inventory.png";
So "Inventory.png" is the name of my background image for my pdf and needs to be in the storyline output root folder. I am creating an A4 document in portrait. If you want to create a landscape form just swap the "210" and "297" parameters to load your png image and add 'landscape' to the new jsPDF line:
var doc = new jsPDF('landscape');
should do it
