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 printing and meeting regulatory requirements. Watch this quick video to learn more:

I’ve made the PDF available to learners by simply adding a block lesson “download course” and inserting the PDF as a “multimedia” file attachment.

Helpful, but less so since collaborators still cannot export ANYTHING...only the Rise course owner can currently perform an export. We need more granular control so the course owner can authorize collaborators (globally and/or individual course) to do certain tasks (e.g., export to LMS, web, PDF; post to Review, send Share link, etc.). Let the course owner (rather than Articulate) decide how course workflow should be handled!

Really pleased you've introduced this feature. Thanks so much! One suggestion for future improvement is to include the feedback for any multiple choice / multiple response questions, as the PDF version doesn't appear to give an indication of the correct answer(s) nor the feedback given. But otherwise, it's great.

Thanks for clarifying, Ashley. I can see why the correct answers and feedback aren't included if the target audience is the learner. But sometimes our stakeholders want a printed copy as part of the development process, and so it would be helpful if we could choose to include the feedback answers when exporting to PDF.

Hi Ann and Christine, When you export a Rise to PDF, there are certain changes we have to make for interactivity. They're detailed here: Here’s how the interactive parts of your Rise course appear in the PDF file: Hyperlinks work as expected and launch in your default web browser. Audio clips, videos, and web objects become static placeholder images. Interactions, such as labeled graphics and tabs, become a series of screenshots, one for each item in the interaction. (Each flashcard becomes two screenshots, one for the front and another for the back.) A Storyline block becomes a screenshot of the first slide in the project. Quiz lessons and knowledge check blocks display questions and answer choices. They don’t show correct/incorrect responses or feedback statements. The issue that Sumi mentioned was something our team also spotted last night where the Next function to another lesson was missing, and it was fixed up! Let us know if you're still spotting it!

Great! thank you!

FYI : I realise that the feed back of the quiz does not appear. It would be awesome to add them in a futur update. Many thanks

Bug Report:

When exporting to PDF, gallery style images do not show. This is only when using Gallery style images.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Hi Cam,

Sorry Cam, that you've run into another issue. Is this the same course you and I worked on before?

If so, I can take a look at that one as I still have your copy. If not, feel free to let me know and you can reply to my previous emails or start a new case.

A quick search is not showing anything that sounds similar, so if you can reach out to our team here, we'd be happy to take a look.

Nice addition! Thanks!

Is there an upper bound limit on the size of a Rise course? The exports work fine with the smaller courses I have, but not so w my biggest course... When I download as a regular zip back up, it's generally over two gigs in size. When I download as a PDF, it seems to get halfway there, then I get an error message...

Hi Michael,

What's the error message you're seeing? I've seen some exceptionally large courses hang on export, where it seems to be processing indefinitely.

Hi Frederic,

It looks like your images are caught at the page break? What block type have you used with these images?

  Hi Ashley,
  
  I used block/four colomn grid. I met the same issue with the same block with other pictures...

  Uh oh! I'll have my team check on your account to see what happened, but if you look at the very top of this discussion do you see it listed as "Subscribed"? Clicking that again should unsubscribe you if you do see it.
