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.
Were you able to use it prior to today, or today is the first time you've tried it and it's not working?
I was able to successfully export a course I had handy this AM. If yours still isn't working, can you tell me what browser you're trying to export from? I used Chrome/Mac, but you can use any of the browsers detailed here.
This is really great news - thanks for making the effort to deliver this functionality. In future updates please consider the metadata with graphics as blind screen readers use this information.
Thanks for releasing this. For the next version, can you have it so you can select which parts of the course you want to export to .pdf? I recently got a request to include a downloadable copy of one section of my course (a FAQ section using the accordion style feature) and it would be great to have the option to just convert one section to .pdf. Thanks!
Thanks, SMART for that info. I'm going to reach out to you directly to get some more specifics on that course, as it sounds like something specific to that course. Keep an eye out for an email from Support@articulate.com
Joy, the Export for PDF is an option for Authors only. It's not something your learners will see.
Carla, Have you looked at duplicating the course and then deleting the parts you don't need prior to export? Also, you could create a Block template out of that one interaction and then use that version to export.
Caron and Blair, Thanks! Our team knew there may be some additional ideas and needs rolling in after we got this first iteration out the door. Happy to pass along your insight to them!
Helpful, but less so since collaborators still cannot export ANYTHING...only the Rise course owner can currently perform an export. We need more granular control so the course owner can authorize collaborators (globally and/or individual course) to do certain tasks (e.g., export to LMS, web, PDF; post to Review, send Share link, etc.). Let the course owner (rather than Articulate) decide how course workflow should be handled!
There are still some bugs to be worked out. The .pdf squashes together words, which doesn't always work out well. For example, look what happened to the word 'affiliated'.
I added feedback when I noticed a glitch and provided a screenshot. It has since been flagged and deleted. Any idea as to why? I was hoping it would be helpful for the developers...
Great stuff ! - one suggestion though - pagination, particularly recognising where page breaks will occur when generating a pdf is a challenge you might want to solve...
This is a brilliant addition to Rise and I am already using it !!! One quick question I have a series of labelled graphics and noticed in the PDF that the first few display with the marker (i or 1, 2 etc) but they then disappear further into the update, although the screenshots and text do display. Any idea why please?

awesome. thanks!
Thanks so much guys! Loving the feature. However we are not able to use it today. No courses will export as PDF. The msg is:
Something went wrong
There was an error exporting your course. Please try again
Thanks!
This is great, I would rather have had xliff translation added though. Any idea when this will be?

Hi Simon,
This is still on our list, so we'll let you know as soon as it's ready.
Hey Ashley,
I was previously able to download and tried the feature on Thursday and
Friday with no issues.
I have tried both Chrome and Safari on Mac and I get the same error:
Thanks!
So this is pretty cool... can it be disabled if the course includes some content we don't want to allow for download? :)

This is a great feature and very useful for making a job aid from a course.
Two requests:
Excellent feature release, thank you.
"Finally ... it's happen' to me... "
Oh wait. That's a song.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU (I could go on...)

This problem seems to be whenever there is a double f.
This happens whenever there is a double 'F'.
For some reason, my response keeps getting flagged, but this error is happening when there is a double (letter that comes after E).
Thank you!!!
