Creating downloadable pdf files in Storyline - an update on earlier methods
Hi Virinela
Downloadable JavaScript Libraries can be either open source or closed source (proprietary). You are right to ask the question and I should have made it clear when I suggested this method of creating downloadbale pdf files. Rest assured that pdf-lib is made available under one of the most common open source licences - MIT. Under this licence for pdf-lib the following conditions apply:

Since I was not distributing the code - simply including a call to download it from a common library it is not strictly necessary for me to include the copyright notice - but I feel better now I have drawn attention to the notice and I will add the appropriate copyright notice to the comments in my code in future when I use such libraries.
But it is a good question - and thanks for asking it. :)
