Storyline 2 Example - Generating a PDF Certificate for users who successfully complete a quiz
Hi all,
I've been experimenting with a JavaScript PDF library (pdfmake) to generate PDF certificates client side for learners who have successfully completed a quiz in Storyline 2.

Hi Dan,
As you suggest it is probably an IE11 configuration issue on these particular machines.
This method works without issue on my machine with IE11 on Windows 7.
Do you have a sample storyfile I could have a look at?
One other thing, are the users on the government machines accessing the content over an intranet? I've had problems in the past with a compatibility view setting in IE that forces all intranet content to be viewed in compatibility view. I realise you have no control over this setting but it could be the cause of your problems.
Cheers,

Hi Ryan,
I suspect that all the issues I'm seeing on IE is related to their flash player configuration, in which case I don't think there is anything I can do about it. I do wonder if it would make any difference to have the administrator add the course url to the exception list.
Regarding your question about users accessing info over the intranet, yes they are. I will certainly check on the compatibility view settings and see if that will make a difference.
One other point I've been curious about, you had mentioned in your post that this method has to published to a server for the script to function. I've always been able to publish to my local hd and able to see the result. Is this due to my less secured settings on IE?
My SL example is attached.
Thank you for your assistance,

Hi Dan. To quickly build on what Ryan brought up about viewing content locally... we don't recommend it. If you view an Articulate Storyline course on your local hard drive (or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive), you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail.
So we always say have a final look at it in its intended final destination (web, LMS, etc)! Here's our knowledge base article about publishing and sharing your project, including ways to view the content offline if you need to do so.
