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...
Great addition. However, when I exported my course to PDF, the the video images are not rendering as they do in the Rise course. Please see example. Is this possibly because we are using private Vimeo links, rather than public links, to the videos?
Hi Rich,
We also use Vimeo videos and the same thing happens to us.
I'm not sure if private or public makes any difference.
Hi, Rich. Embedded web content doesn't always render as expected when converting it to print.
If having meaningful placeholder images for the blocks with web content is important for the PDF viewers, could you duplicate your course to create a PDF-friendly version? You could replace the embed blocks with image blocks for context of the web video content.
Thanks, Crystal.
We could take Snagit images of the videos as they display in Rise, with their correct embedded titles, then create a PDF-friendly version of the course that uses these Snagit images for the image blocks. Labor-intensive, but it would work.
We could create a version with text blocks above the video blocks with the correct video titles, then use the generic video thumbnails of the speakers in new image blocks to replace the video blocks. Not an exact replica of the course, but less work, and probably acceptable to users.
It sounds like a solution to the problem of rendering embedded web content is unlikely, correct?
