Creating downloadable pdf files in Storyline - an update on earlier methods
The amount of info in this thread is incredible! I've been able to make this work for the most part, but I'm running into a snag when it comes to my PDF. I designed a PDF in Canva and configured the form fields in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but when it comes to generating the PDF using JavaScript in Storyline, nothing happens. I tried altering John's original template PDF with the form fields I was using in my Canva-created PDF, and it works fine; however, that was only with copying the form fields. I then tried to copy all of the content from my Canva-created PDF into John's template PDF, and once again, the PDF isn't generating from Storyline. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it's probably the Canva PDF, but I'm not sure why. I'm not getting any error messages to help diagnose it further.
I figured it out! It was the form fields I created. The form fields had Rich Text Formatting enabled, which prevented the JavaScript from working properly.
