Question

Allowing users to print a published project?

Hello all!

Wondering if there is a way for users to be able to print a slide (or every slide) from a published project.


Thank you in advance for your expertise.

When I've needed to do something like this, I've used the Print playbar in my custom-colored Captivate skin - it adds a print button that allows the learner to print the current slide (to an actual printer or to a PDF printer, however the learner's computer is set up).

So, under Themes/Skin Editor, in the Theme box, I click the Playbar drop-down and select Print.

That does slide-by-slide printing. When I need to provide a PDF of the entire project (for notes or records or whatever), I:

  • export the project to Word,
  • do some work to brand it, then
  • save as a PDF and provide it as a download in the LMS, or link to it from the Captivate on a resources or downloads slide.

Thank you taraa for your reply.

I tested this and it works on a normal slide but not on the DRAG & DROP slide....

Any further suggestions???

Ah! I assumed it would print whatever was on the drag-and-drop slide, too. Now I'm very interested in the solution, too... I'm sorry I can't help, but I'll be watching for answers with you!

Hello!

I also have the same question. Trying to print from a drag and drop exercise so lerners can save their answers to a pdf document and print as they wish.

Can anyone give any hints on this?

Thank you.
