Expor data to google sheet and pdf

Although there are quite some posts about these topics to find in the community, i will list some of them and make a follow-up showing how to get this working. Steps to get into are:

Reading data from Google Sheets or a database
Showing read data in Storyline
Saving and/or updating data to Google Sheets or a database
Creating a PDF from the data in Storyline
Downloading the PDF

So lets first list the posts that tackle these steps in some way ( as there are alternatives for most steps )

Reading data from Google Sheets:

This older article from Bastiaan Timmer still works fine, and with this as basics you sure can get reading and writing data to Google Sheets working. Watch the changes over time Google and Articulate made, as things will differ.

Other approaches are using Google cloud functions to read/write and update data. It is more reliant and quicker, but you need to know how to make them in the Google console.

As both these solutions do ask some scripting knowledge ( Articulate should add a foolproof method for users without hassle ) there are offcourse external commercial solutions.

Cluelabs offers simple straightforward widgets anyone can quickly use. They tend to be slow, way slower then direct API-access as above, and i did notice missing variables in the past. So be aware of that.

Chris Hodgson's Magic Toolkit for sure does magic. But limited to Wordpress. So if you plan to add your
courses on Wordpress, this plugin is a must-have.

He is really one of the best Storyline developers around. Superhero in its own right. Only thing preventing that, is the 'rule' Articulate has in its 'Hero-programme'.
Quote: 

Avoid activities conflicting with their Super Heroes role. Super Heroes don’t develop business relationships with Articulate competitors.

Come on Articulate. Skip this rule as its limiting your horizon. True heroes are not limited to any one supplier. Oh sorry, i cannot help you, you work in another tool too.
