This is great Ryan, thanks for sharing this example. 

What was the issue you ran into with the Flash output? As PDFmake is JavaScript based I thought it would work okay... but I'm obviously missing something. 

Hi Matthew,

To be honest I didn't really spend any time looking at why this didn't work with the Flash version as we have just been using the HTML5 output. I've had a quick look and the following tweaks sort it out...

In my example I hid the web object that contains the certificate code off the project canvas. This works fine with the HTML5 output but the web object is not included in the Flash output if you do this. The easiest thing to do is to make the web object very small and hide it behind another element on the project canvas.

Also you'd need to modify / remove the little bit of JS that i use to retrieve the title of the project.

// title = window.parent.story.title;

Once these changes have been made it works fine for both the HTML5 and Flash versions. I'll update my original post sometime soon to reflect these changes.

Cheers,

Ryan
