More Control when exporting from Rise to PDF

Hi Community,

I wonder if the option to export from Rise to PDF has any way of controlling how the content is split? My panes with text and images are split in half when I export to PDF (see attached image).

Any way to control this?

  • Hi David,

    We have a feature request logged for this ability but it’s not something available right now.

    I’ve included your question in the feedback to our product team. If I can help with anything else, please let me know.

    Hello there, 

    We are also very much interested in finding out when you plan on making changes to this basic function.
    It would help a lot.

  • Hi 

    This is urgently needed for us too... there are large gaps in the exported PDF (which makes for a larger printed file - definitely not environmentally friendly!). We need to have PDF outputs to make available to students as handouts.

    Also, I am noticing the issue of content cut erratically, which is very frustrating. Just wish that the PDF outputs were as beautiful as the courses developed in Rise!

    Thanks!

  • I would also like to raise this as an urgent need. As Anu stated, the content is "cut erratically" in the PDF exports, in addition to creating large gaps between some headers and the text. There doesn't seem to be any logic to when it where it separates (it's not specific to any type of content block). 

    We are required to have copies of our content for compliance purposes. But we spend large amounts of time tweaking PDF exports. I am reconsidering the use of Rise because of the hassle.

      Hi Anna, thanks for checking in. We don't have any updates for this feature yet, but we will post it here as soon as we do.

  • Another 'hands up' for help on this one. We have a number of content blocks which aren't exporting at all, and the huge gaps make for an untidy and illogical break.
    It would be awesome if the export to PDF could split at the end of each lesson/section.
