Example files: Generating a certificate from Storyline
This example demonstrates how you can take user input and generate a certificate for printing. Any Storyline variable or score can be used to generate the output. The file and file add-ins are both simple and straight forward. This will only work in the Flash based output. This will not work in the iOS output or HTML5.
To replicate this on your end:
1) Modify the story file to your liking.
2) Extract the add-in zip file above (certificate.html and certificateBG.gif)
3) Copy these two files into your published output directory. You'll need to do this each time you publish.
This is a really basic example. You really can do quite a bit with this including adding a print button, extra fields, collecting values from the LMS like the user's first and last name.
** I noticed a bug when playing with this file setup. I initially thought I would be able to include the certificate files as resources to avoid copy / paste surgery after publish. Unfortunately, Storyline mangled the HTML file on publish. Will be submitting this as a bug.
Hi Barclay!
Articulate does not support modifying the published output, so perhaps someone in the community will be able to assist you with this.
Thanks so much for the update, Christine -- glad you are all set! :)
Hi Steve

Hi Marielle -
Looks like Dropbox changed the way shared files are referenced sometime within the past couple of years. I updated the last 2 links. Looking for a way to restore the published example.
Thank you !
Hi Janis! This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure if Jeffrey is still subscribed. You are welcome to utilize the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if available.
Hi Kumiko!
Not sure if this thread will offer some assistance to you.
Otherwise, hopefully someone in the community will be able to pop in and assist you with this request.
Thank you Leslie.
Of course Kumiko. Hopefully that will guide you on your way, but (between this thread and that one) it will put you in touch with the people that can do it for sure :)
Can you have the certificate functionality pull in a photo of the person using a variable? Also, can it pull in a custom graphic to put on the certificate? For example, I want an icon to represent the level of completion for that learner to be printed on the certificate? Thanks
