Rise Publish to PDF - Tiny Font
Sep 04, 2019

Hello,
Anyone else experience this? The font I have set up is showing as 17 pt in my Rise course. When I publish to PDF, it seems to go down to about 5 or 6 pt!
Luckily this is only one of two courses I have in Rise (the source file issue is preventing me from using it any further).
Just wondering if anyone else is having the same or similar issue, and since there's no option to adjust publishing/export (PDF) settings in Rise, looks like I'm stuck with it. It's interesting because it didn't always do that - the first few times I exported a PDF, the font size looked fine.
Thanks,
Glen

Hi there, Nita. We're looking into an issue where the PDF export doesn't use the theme font for your course. I'll post any updates here. For now, I'm sorry I don't have a workaround!
Hi, I am also having this issue, the font style changes.
Thanks for letting us know, Online Learning DLT. You're in the right place to stay up-to-date on this issue.
Hi Alyssa - I'm also having this issue. When I do a PDF export of an Articulate Rise course, the font style changes and the font size becomes quite small in most sections. I've attached an example. As others mentioned, it's very important for us to find a resolution for this as we provide PDF exports regularly and want to avoid the manual work. Any updates are appreciated!
Hi Kristin,
We were struggling with the small font issue for a long time.
Articulate Tech Support finally sent us this information as the cause:
1) The course contains a numbered list.
2) The numbered list contains long and multiple paragraphs.
Thanks for your reply, Karl. I've recently started doing more PDF exports because we're using Rise for one of our main training programs... and we produce a few lessons every month. As I compare my files, it doesn't seem to matter if there are numbered lists... some lessons have smaller font than others. Very strange.
I'm really sorry this issue is causing you headaches, Kristin! I'm going to bring this up with my team again, and I'll circle back to this discussion if I get new information that will help.
Hi everyone,
I'm happy to let you know that your theme fonts are used in PDF exports now. You may still see some variance in font size in list blocks, and we'll let you know if that changes. Let me know if you have questions!
This is fantastic news... thanks for the update!
