New Rise Feature: Export as PDF
Today we released a new feature in Rise that I think you’ll appreciate—especially those of you who work in highly regulated industries! Now you can export your Rise courses as PDF files for easy pri...
Hi Irina,
Thanks for adding your voice here. The PDF Export was initially designed for authors who needed a "hard copy" of their Rise course for compliance or legal reasons.
It sounds like you're hoping to edit the output? Could you share more about that and how you'd edit in Word vs. editing in Adobe Acrobat? Is your final goal to have a PDF copy?
Dear Ashley,
I would prefer not to edit anything and use the export as a hard copy, we have a very high demand for that, thats a great and a very needed feature.
But the exported PDF cuts images (they are broken in the middle and split to two pages, this issue was already submitted in the forum of this community somewhere. We were advised to use some pdf editors for that but this is not possible. Do you have an ETA when exported PDF from Rise will resolve this issue?
Thank you very much!
Hi, Ashley--with regard to Rise output PDFs for compliance purposes, has there been any movement on ensuring all text elements of a Rise course publish to PDF (including all flash card text, and headers of tabbed interactions, etc., per my examples of 4 months ago)? My clients understandably still don't want me to use Rise for any of their compliance courses until the PDF output includes at least all the text content shown in the course. Having images broken up over pages is awkward, and it would be great to fix that, but as I mentioned in my prior post, not having all the text elements present in the PDF is a show-stopper for compliance content.
I just received a request for another compliance course today, and would love to have some good news for my clients. As others have mentioned, the chief value of the PDF export is to be able to offer clients a hard copy version of the full course content with only a few clicks (and no editing in another software). Thanks for any updates you can share on this point!
Hi Andrew,
This is still an open issue with our team, so sadly I don't have an update to share at this point. As soon as we have more info, we'll be certain to let you know.
