Saving Storyline Variables to a PDF

Hi Eric,

Have you checked that you're publishing locally and not using the same name as a previously published file? If you used the same name and file path that would cause the file to be over written.

As for zipping the content you'll see an option on the publish successful window to "Zip" and that's what you can use to create the package to upload to your LMS.

If you have specific questions about the custom steps shared here,  you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly!

Best of luck with your project! 

Hi every one

I am trying to use jsPDF to let the user export the content of 3 text variables. But I keep running in to the same problems. 

I have downloaded and added the js-libraries to the relevant places in story_html5.html.

I have also tried using an online SRC instead

I keep getting one of these errors:  actionator::exeJavaScript - Cannot read property 'defaultView' of undefined  or  actionator::exeJavaScript - options.font.widthOfString is not a function  when I try to run the script.

The first error I get when I use https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.5/jspdf.min.js  instead of the various plugins, or if I use both jspdf.js (or jspdf.debug.js) , split_text_to_size.js and standard_font_metrics.

The latter error I get when I just use  jspdf.js and split_text_to_size.js.

Here is a link to the online version: http://elearning.hosp.dk/0Afproevning/casef/test/story_html5.html?lms=1

And I have attached both the story-file (SL3) and the story_html5.html-file. 

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Hi Snorre, 

Happy to help out if you need! Can't say I've seen that error before, and I've used jspdf in Storyline projects quite a bit, so I'm not entirely sure. Is the file downloading blank at least? Or is it simply not doing anything and throwing you that error? 

At first I thought maybe it's because you weren't calling the libraries in the HTML5 file, but it looks like they are. However I noticed you don't have FileSaver.js in your source libraries, and if you do it's not being called in your index file. Are you able to attach the full .zip project? The .html file won't work without all the assets locally. 

I also took a look at your user.js file and I just wanted to clarify, is the intention to just print the four variables you are grabbing from storyline with an image? If so, I can share some code that might simplify it a bit! 

Sorry for the million questions, just getting some clarification so I can help!

I want to save the data entered by the user in a separate text file but this code is doing nothing.Where am I going wrong?

Bringing back a very old thread.. would love to be able to do this in 360.  Has anyone had any success doing something like this?   Thanks!

I can view the demo example and save pdf perfectly fine with the source code.

My question is as soon as I start modifying the user.js file, the download button to export a pdf no longer works.

Do I need to edit the jspdf document for the download button to work? 

I made a photo album and I want the user to save their favorite photo with a print button or in their original file system, I don't know how to do that ...can u help me?

I've been using jsPDF in storyline for well over a year now. On my most recent project I've run into an issue where ONLY Text variables seem to work now. Using either Number or True/False variables seems to prevent the jsPDF from running at all. Has anyone else run into this issue and found a solution? I've tried everything I can think of: a brand new project file, newly made variables, new variable names, and no improvement. If I replace it with a 'Text' type variable it'll work just fine. I have to use number variables in my project, because the activity I made does math with the numbers.

Edit: I believe I figured this out. In order to get a numeric/number variable to display in the PDF, it MUST be added to a text string or a text-based varaible. So in the example, it takes the userScore variable and adds '%' to the end. Other numbers I've used I've added '$' to the beginning of the variable. I've also added a text-based variable like doc.text(20, 20, numericVariable + textVariable) This is - in my testing - a necessary step. You can't just doc.text(20, 20, userScore) where userScore is a Number variable from storyline.
