New Rise Feature: Export as PDF

Thanks for passing on the request Ashely...  I was experimenting with taking the PDF and importing it into one of my blogs on WordPress...  It may make big projects like Destination Mars 169 sections) a bit more palatable...  Right now, I'm experimenting with Web Links for a single section to my server and see how that process works...

Always happy to share it, Michael! So please keep the ideas coming. 

A PDF copy of that cool Mars course you created though, doesn't sound nearly as fun! 😉

Hi guys, is there an issue with the export to PDF? seemed to be working ok at lunch, nothing is exporting at the moment? Thanks for the update! Cam

Hi Louise and Cam,

We did have an issue with the export to PDF function last night, but it should be all fixed up now! Can you try exporting again? 

Thanks for letting us know that this would be helpful for you as well Matt. You should now be subscribed to this thread so that any updates we have to share will notify you :)

Thanks, Andrew for breaking down those additional components that would be crucial for you! It will help our team with continued planning and development on additional aspects of this feature - so I appreciate the honesty.

We'll keep you posted here as those parts roll out to Rise, but I don't yet have an ETA to share.  

Andrew's comment about page breaks is my biggest concern. I've got a tabbed activity in my course and it's split across two pages in the PDF. Tabs are at the bottom of one page, and content nested beneath the tab is on the next. Additionally, the screen shot of the first slide of my Storyline block is cut in half, split across the page break. Would love to see options to set page breaks or for the export tool to anticipate items that should not be split apart.

Thanks!

This is an awesome feature! However when I export to PDF I see  that Rise can break one image and slicing it, so that it partially slips to the next page. Same with some interactive elements. Would that be possible during the export to prevent this slicing? Thank you!

Hi Irina,

I guess you found out about the pdfs on your own :) I just responded to your post here.

Items splitting across pages is an issue we are aware of. You may be able to correct some formatting issues via Acrobat Pro if needed.

Hi there,

My team will often have multiple contributors to a module. I noticed that I could not export one module to PDF because I wasn't the "owner" even though it was shared with me. Is there a way to add multiple people to a module's ownership/allow them to export, review, share, edit settings etc. I currently just see the Preview button on the top bar.
