Need to create a course that includes a fillable form
Hello!
I need to create a course where our Board Members will be able to complete / fill in their continuing education activity.
I've been reviewing previous discussion but am new to storyline ...
Hi Lorelei
I have done a couple of projects like this where the requirement was to fill out a form in Storyline - the last one was for a Hospital Trust here in the UK - it was a multi-page form and included text, numeric data, dates and checkboxes as your pdf form does.
Using JavaScript and a JavaScript Library called "pdf-lib" you can actually open a pdf form, read the fieldnames and then assign variables you have collected in the Storyline input fields, write them to the form and then "Save" the completed form on the users system (It opens a "Save As" prompt for them). Or you could email it to someone.
It sounds daunting - particularly if you are not familiar with JavaScript - but it is actually quite straightforward having done it a few times.
It is definitely doable in Storyline.
Regards
