Today we released a new feature in Rise that I think you’ll appreciate—especially those of you who work in highly regulated industries! Now you can export your Rise courses as PDF files for easy printing and meeting regulatory requirements.
Sorry Cam, that you've run into another issue. Is this the same course you and I worked on before?
If so, I can take a look at that one as I still have your copy. If not, feel free to let me know and you can reply to my previous emails or start a new case.
Is there an upper bound limit on the size of a Rise course? The exports work fine with the smaller courses I have, but not so w my biggest course... When I download as a regular zip back up, it's generally over two gigs in size. When I download as a PDF, it seems to get halfway there, then I get an error message...
Uh oh! I'll have my team check on your account to see what happened, but if you look at the very top of this discussion do you see it listed as "Subscribed"? Clicking that again should unsubscribe you if you do see it.
Any chance interactive PDF is on the roadmap? We'd really love to be able to print to PDF and users still be able to complete Storyline and other interactive features in the PDF. Having just the first page of a Storyline block appear in the PDF doesn't help us. We've got our fingers crossed, as interactive PDF capability is the main reason we're hanging on to Captivate at this point. If Articulate can start providing this capability, we might be all-in Articulate.
I agree. Legally, we need to archive a PDF of each learning asset we make available to learners. Because the RISE Export-to-PDF doesn't output the correct answer and feedback, we need to manually go back into the RISE course, take screen shots, and insert them into the PDF. It's a lot of extra work which we don't have to do with Storyline's Print-to-Word function.
This is great but one thing that doesn't come out in the PDF - the content of a stackable card that scrolls. Would be fantastic if you can work on a fix for this.
Thanks for reaching out and I'd like to better understand what you are seeing.
If you have an example of what you are seeing (missing in this case) in the pdf and what lesson/block type you are using I'd be happy to take a look :)
Thanks for clarifying and for the document Jacqueline, that is certainly helpful.
This is actually an issue we are aware of, where only the initial text on the flashcard displays. Text near the edge of the scrolling border will appear faded.
Sorry that you've run into this, but it is certainly on our radar.
Currently when I export a "Step-by-Step" lesson on Rise to .PDF it puts each step on its own page. Is there anyway to format this differently? It would be ideal for me to be able to have 2-4 steps on each page. I understand the text and photos would be smaller, and thats ok. If there is a way of doing this, it will save me hours of work on each project I do. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have! <3
Some of the blocks or lessons may split over multiple pages, as our export process won't shrink them to fit on one page or adjust across pages. You may be able to correct text size and page break issues by editing the exported course in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
As for the video placeholders becoming links, our team is always interested to know about what other features you'd like to see! I'm happy to share that idea with them.
Thanks for passing on the request Ashely... I was experimenting with taking the PDF and importing it into one of my blogs on WordPress... It may make big projects like Destination Mars 169 sections) a bit more palatable... Right now, I'm experimenting with Web Links for a single section to my server and see how that process works...

Hey Ashley,
this is a new course.
Have you had this reported before?
Thanks,
Camelia
Hey Camelia,
A quick search is not showing anything that sounds similar, so if you can reach out to our team here, we'd be happy to take a look.
Simply the best !
Nice addition! Thanks!

Hi everyone
Great job ! a usefull file... But I notice in the export some pictures are truncated
Ah, the simple things in life!
Hi Michael,
What's the error message you're seeing? I've seen some exceptionally large courses hang on export, where it seems to be processing indefinitely.
Hi Frederic,
It looks like your images are caught at the page break? What block type have you used with these images?
I have unsubscribed but still receiving comments.!
Uh oh! I'll have my team check on your account to see what happened, but if you look at the very top of this discussion do you see it listed as "Subscribed"? Clicking that again should unsubscribe you if you do see it.
wow Ashley, thank you. got sorted, I have clicked that and it turned to grey color now.
Hi Ashley,
I used block/four colomn grid. I met the same issue with the same block with other pictures...

Here you go Leslie. Thank you.
I'm using the Stackable Cards in Blocks.

Hey Stephen,
You may be able to correct the page breaks by editing the exported course in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Thankfully the export is not a perfect representation of what the learners will see on the screen.
Hi Staff!
Any chance that the video placeholders may become links? Also, some of my entries are cut in half at the page break. Any way of overcoming that?
