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.

This made my day. You guys rock.
Hi Diane,
Thanks! This PDF and link to the course help and make a lot more sense! Am I correct in noting that the markers are gone after lesson 8, but that the images and text contained in the markers are still appearing in your PDF?
Have you noticed this only on this course, or any courses with more than a handful of labeled graphics in them? Also, in case it may be browser specific, can you let me know what browser(s) you're using to Export to PDF?
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.
As soon as I read the post, I planned to do the same. This feature is so great.
Is the export to PDF feature available to learners directly? Or is it something the content authors can do and attach a printable PDF in the course?
It isn't a feature that the learner can use, it's something that the developer creates.
Great - it makes so much sense to provide a downloadable PDF to learners rather than having it as a default option for them. Will be a great feature for our internal development/review processes too to share a copy with the stakeholders. Cheers!
so so so Happy!!!
This is a brilliant addition to Rise and I am already using it !!! One quick question I have a series of labelled graphics and noticed in the PDF that the first few display with the marker (i or 1, 2 etc) but they then disappear further into the update, although the screenshots and text do display. Any idea why please?
thanks and once again, great job!
Hi Diane,
When you're using a Labelled graphic and you Export to PDF, what we'll do it:
-
We take a screenshot of the Labeled Graphic image with markers to get the full picture.
-
Then we print the Labeled Graphic image with the active marker, and print its marker contents.
It sounds like you may be seeing something different. Could you share a copy of it here so that we can take a look?

Awesome!
That is a great news!! Thank you for a new feature.
Great stuff ! - one suggestion though - pagination, particularly recognising where page breaks will occur when generating a pdf is a challenge you might want to solve...
I added feedback when I noticed a glitch and provided a screenshot. It has since been flagged and deleted. Any idea as to why? I was hoping it would be helpful for the developers...
Hi Carla,
I see your other posts here, sorry if they were flagged! That can happen when you're posting too quickly or you're sharing a lot of attachments in a short period of time.
To clarify, you're seeing an issue with text overlapping in the Export to PDF option when there are two letter F's in a row, or a set of two letters that would appear after the letter E? Does everything in the Rise course look normal using the Preview/Share link, and it's only the export? Have you seen this in all lessons?
