How to print several slides in Story line
Hi, I am trying to print about 10 slides in Storyline 360, preferably to a .pdf but presently just to a printer. I can print and pdf the current screen but the only solution for multiple slides se...
We are currently working on a project for a client where they want to be able to download/email/print the whole Storyline slide deck including pages where the learner has entered notes via text entry or completed surveys etc.
Our solution (which appears to work well) was to:
(a) convert the whole course into a pdf form - we do this by publishing to Word then eliminate the bits we don't need and then save as a pdf. We then open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat and convert it to a pdf 'form' inserting named fields where the learner's input will appear.
(b) in the Storyline we then used a JavaScript library "pdf-lib" which has the ability to open, read and fill out pdf forms. A button runs a JavaScript routine that opens our pdf form template, retrieves the variables we need from Storyline and uses them to fill out the pdf form. Once complete the learner is presented with a button to download or email the pdf - obviously the learner can then print the pdf but I'm sure there must be a clever way of sending it to the printer?
There's a bit of JavaScript programming involved but no modifying the html after publication - and the pdf template can be modified without changing the JavaScript as long as the field names remain the same.
I can provide more details if anyone is interested?
I would love to know the full process on how to do this.
