I'm so glad this feature was added at last! I have one client who didn't want any more courses built in Rise until this feature was available, for compliance reasons. Sorry I'm late to the game, but thanks for making this a priority! However...
In trying a couple of PDFs, and reading this thread, I agree with some suggestions, and have other comments to add:
- For a tabbed interaction, because you're grabbing a screen cap of the tabs, if there are more tabs than can be shown without clicking the right arrow, then the additional tabs are of course simply cut off. The actual body text content on the tab is included in the PDF, but not seeing the appropriately-titled tab header with it is problematic.
- Similarly, because you're currently using screencaps for flash cards, if the text on the card is longer, it fades away into nothingness--which is a real issue for a compliance course. I'm hoping you are working on a way to grab the actual text from these items, so none of the course content is lost?
- Page breaks are sometimes awkward. Not the end of the world. But if you can add a "no widow/orphan" aspect, that would be great.
- As others have noted, being able to choose whether or not to include question feedback would be very useful. Sometimes a client wants everything verbatim for compliance reasons; other times for accessibility reasons they want to supply the basic content as the learner would experience it online, but with the questions left unanswered (to prevent a learner from circulating the PDF as an "answer key.")
Thanks again for adding this essential feature (along with other great Rise enhancement), but I do hope you are committed to improving this PDF export as soon as possible? From a compliance perspective, either every word of the course is present in the PDF, or it's not. If it's not, it will not satisfy most clients' compliance requirements.
