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.

I added a lightbox interactive created in Storyline 360 as an interactive block to a Rise course. On the Rise course, all the slides of the lightbox interactive are displayed. However, when I export the content as a pdf, none of the lightbox content is on the pdf. It only displays the first slide of the lightbox interactive.
Is there a way to export the pdf with all the content within the lightbox block? Thanks!
Hi there, Aarthi. When exporting to PDF, your Storyline interactions with many slides or interactive elements will not be displayed. Your best bet is to also export the Storyline 360 file for Word and add those visuals to your PDF.
Thanks! What if I have videos in my Rise course? Will they be able to play in the pdf format? I noticed that when I upload a mp4, it doesn't show up. If I upload code, it seemed to play. Can you verify? Thanks!
Hi Anna! If you added an .mp4 video to your course, it will show as a static image. If you used Multimedia>Embed there will be a clickable link in the PDF. Hope this helps!
When exporting to PDF, the recent modifications( last few updates that I made in the content ) are not getting reflected. Why is this?
Hi Teena! So sorry to hear that when you export to PDF, your modifications are not reflected in your PDF output.
Please try this: Update your browser, clear cache, and log back in. Then try to Publish to PDF.
If this does not work, please open a case with us here, so that one of our technical support engineers can look into it.
Do we have the option to make this PDF accessible when you export it?
Hi Dhiraj! Did you want your users to be able to download a PDF copy of the course as well?
You can do that by exporting your Rise 360 course as a PDF and then adding an Attachment block to your Rise 360 course and uploading the exported PDF file.
This way, your users will be able to download a copy of the course they just took.
I hope this information helps!
Very good regarding approval reasons for colleagues without access to the software....
I can see the option to publish as a PDF in all of my courses, except the one I am currently working on and it only has the option to review. Any thoughts on why?
Hello KristyStout,
Thanks for reaching out! In Rise 360, the option to publish a course as a PDF is usually available only to course owners and managers. If you’re not seeing it in your current course but can see it in others, it’s likely tied to your role and permissions.
Sometimes, certain features are hidden if you’re not the course owner or manager. You might want to check in with them. They can either publish the course for you or adjust your access if needed.
If you have any other questions or need help figuring out the next step, please feel free to ask. If you'd prefer more one-on-one support, you can also connect with us privately in a support case.
Somebody might want to run the new Custom Layouts beta through the PDF generator one or twice ...
