Export to Powerpoint from Storyline
Best I can think of would be to export to Word, save as PDF, then run it through some OCR tool. But that's a pretty roundabout trip when the text is there in the obfuscated .js and the working file
I also endorse the need for a feature that would take SL either back to PowerPoint, XML, or just plain text.
I generally begin SL2 work with a PowerPoint file as part of a collaborative workflow, or just for speed, efficiency and the option to single source materials out for different uses.
However, I am now charged with taking a big, native SL2 course back into an instructor-led format, and this is looking like a cut and paste operation - blah.
Using materials designed self-paced SL content as the backdrop for facilitated instructor led events is far from ideal, as message design and pacing for the two use cases is very different.
This is as bad an idea as trying to use unmodified instructor-led decks as e-learning slides. Further the notion that "SL is a Lexus, PowerPoint is a Ford Focus" is also misguided.
Haters gonna hate, but PowerPoint is an excellent, highly efficient tool for its particular use case, if not all use cases.
Shudder at the thought of using it, but Adobe's bug fest, Captivate, exports editable Word, XML, etc. Lack of an export feature is very significant missing piece of an otherwise great product.
