Export to PDF
I recently exported a Rise course to PDF. Within the course there is an Attachment block with 5 attachments. The PDF retains the links which all work. The PDF will be uploaded to our LMS for over 30k users to access.
As users access the PDF from our LMS, the users will click the links for the attachments. The attachment links point to the rise course on the Articulate Content server. I'm assuming this is OK? There's no issue with the links pointing to the course on Rise 360?
I hope this makes sense.

Hi Charles, I'm not sure what your question or concern is?
As their first choice, would learners not be accessing the attachments from within the Rise course itself rather than the PDF?
When and how would your learners use the PDF from the LMS and not the Rise course?

As you know, you can export Rise courses as LMS, PDF, or Web. The organization does not want to upload the content as a SCORM package. They have chosen to load it as a document. So users would access the PDF from the LMS.
Hi Charles!
Your 30K learners won't have any issues accessing attachments in your PDFs that are hosted on the Articulate Content server. Thanks for asking!

Is it possible to export a regular SL360 course as a pdf? Not just RISE?
Hi Kendra! You can publish a Storyline 360 course to a Microsoft Word file, then save it as a PDF. I hope that helps!

Wonderful to know, thanks so much!
One other issue of note is when you disable the Lessons Count Labels [Display current lesson number at the top of each lesson (e.g. Lesson 1 of x)] in the navigation settings. The lesson count appears on the PDF anyway.
Thanks for letting us know about that issue, Charles! I've shared this problem with our team, and I'll update you if I get any new information that would be helpful.

Do these exported PDF from Rise support Accessibility standards like PDF/UA and WCAG 2.0?
IS there any way Articulate can provide guidance to make it standardize.?
Hello SibaPrasad! The PDF is not tagged for accessibility. We are reviewing PDF output in our accessibility work that we're performing this year, and we'll share an update when we can.

Hello Lea Agato and Crystal Horn,
Lea, was your response above concerning accessibility of Rise PDF exports or the topic of the original post? My question is this, what is the status of accessible Rise PDF exports?
Thanks!
Thanks for checking in, Kathryn. I'm sharing our VPAT which specifies that PDF exports of your Rise courses don't preserve accessibility information at this time.
We're continuing our accessibility enhancements, and our VPAT and accessibility journal will be the best place to get updates about new improvements.
