Export course to a PDF (with variables)
Hi everyone and Happy New Year! Wondered if anyone could help me? A client has asked for a course which once completed (i.e, user on last slide) all slides can be exported to a PDF, including wit...
Yes this is possible - we use JavaScript to do this and one of the JavaScript pdf code libraries. It's not for the feint-hearted but here's a demo we set up to show what can be done. Sorry the demo is a bit long - it's really aimed at our clients - but stick with it I think you find it worth it!

We haven't tested the code on a tablet - but I can't see a problem there.
However, this demo uses a code library "jsPdf" which there are a number of articles about on this community site and it does require you to be able to edit the compiled code after you have published it. You need to be able to put the pdf template files in the root folder and modify the story.html file or the index_lms.html if you are loading for an lms.
With your AWS server I'm assuming you would have the ability to do that. If not, there is a way of doing this using a more recent JavaScript library which avoids having to edit the html files.
