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

Any chance interactive PDF is on the roadmap? We'd really love to be able to print to PDF and users still be able to complete Storyline and other interactive features in the PDF. Having just the first page of a Storyline block appear in the PDF doesn't help us. We've got our fingers crossed, as interactive PDF capability is the main reason we're hanging on to Captivate at this point. If Articulate can start providing this capability, we might be all-in Articulate.

This is great but one thing that doesn't come out in the PDF - the content of a stackable card that scrolls. Would be fantastic if you can work on a fix for this.
Hi Jacqueline,
Thanks for reaching out and I'd like to better understand what you are seeing.
If you have an example of what you are seeing (missing in this case) in the pdf and what lesson/block type you are using I'd be happy to take a look :)

I'm using the Stackable Cards in Blocks.
Thanks for clarifying and for the document Jacqueline, that is certainly helpful.
This is actually an issue we are aware of, where only the initial text on the flashcard displays. Text near the edge of the scrolling border will appear faded.
Sorry that you've run into this, but it is certainly on our radar.

Currently when I export a "Step-by-Step" lesson on Rise to .PDF it puts each step on its own page. Is there anyway to format this differently? It would be ideal for me to be able to have 2-4 steps on each page. I understand the text and photos would be smaller, and thats ok. If there is a way of doing this, it will save me hours of work on each project I do. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have! <3
Hey Stephen,
You may be able to correct the page breaks by editing the exported course in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Thankfully the export is not a perfect representation of what the learners will see on the screen.

Hi Staff!
Any chance that the video placeholders may become links? Also, some of my entries are cut in half at the page break. Any way of overcoming that?
Hi Michael,
Some of the blocks or lessons may split over multiple pages, as our export process won't shrink them to fit on one page or adjust across pages. You may be able to correct text size and page break issues by editing the exported course in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
As for the video placeholders becoming links, our team is always interested to know about what other features you'd like to see! I'm happy to share that idea with them.
