How to print several slides in Story line

I am also looking at a work around for this too. 

I am interested in any solutions for this as well. I am creating a test that randomly generates unique questions for students.  I need them to be able to print 2 or 3 pages (slides) so that they can complete the test by hand.  

Hello Charlie and Matney!

I'm interested to hear what Javascript experts recommend, but I'll offer up my simple recommendations!

If you're looking to print a page in Storyline, I'd recommend adding an Execute Javascript Trigger with a window.print(); This only prints the current page, so you might want to play around with other javascript to print more than that.

Another idea is to create a PDF with all of the questions and add a button to the slide with a trigger to Open File. 

I'd love to hear what you both come up with. I hope these simple steps will get you started!

Please share any solutions for this. I currently need to create a learning journal with about 30 reflection questions that the learner can save and print when finished. Any ideas?

Hi Lauren,

Any chance of giving examples or tutorial links of how to print multiple slides into a single PDF.

Thanks

I don't know if either of these would be helpful, but a while back I put together a couple of prototypes that can create a separate HTML page for printing either a simple certificate or captured notes. They both use JavaScript and some basic HTML code for formatting.

Hope these help.

Just follow these stages:

Stage 1: First, make the course according to your prerequisite.

Stage 2: Insert a Button from the InsertTab and name it Print.

Stage 3: Assign the trigger "Execute JavaScript" when the student taps the Print button.

Stage 4: Write the code given underneath in the JavaScript window.

Step 1: First, create the course as per your requirement.

Step 2: Insert a Button from the InsertTab and name it Print.

Step 3: Assign the trigger “Execute JavaScript” when the learner clicks the Print button.

Step 4: Write the code given below in the JavaScript window.

if (document.location.href.indexOf(‘html5’) < 0) {

GetPlayer().printSlide()

} else {

if(!window.hasPrintStyle){

window.hasPrintStyle = true;

varcss = ‘@media print {body * {visibility: hidden;}#slidecontainer, #slidecontainer * {visibility: visible;}#slidecontainer {position: absolute;left: 0;top: 0; }#slideframe {overflow: visible;}}’,

head = document.head || document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0],

style = document.createElement(‘style’);

style.type = ‘text/css’;

if (style.styleSheet){

style.styleSheet.cssText = css;

} else {

style.appendChild(document.createTextNode(css));

}

head.appendChild(style);

}

varwhereNow = $(“#slidecontainer”).offset();

$(“#slidecontainer”).offset({top:0,left:0});

window.print();

$(“#slidecontainer”).offset(whereNow);

}

I am interested by any solutions for this as well. I am developing a take a look at that randomly generates unique questions for students. I need them so as to print 2 or 3 pages (slides) so one can entire the take a look at by way of hand.

Hi Robin,

Just to add to all the great suggestions that have already been shared in this thread, you can also take a look at this post where a member of the community shared a method to print almost anything in Storyline 360. 

You are also welcome to raise a Feature Request to our product team if there are any printing specific features that you'd like to see in future releases of Storyline 360.
