Introduction To Dynamic PDF Generation in Storyline 360
Version 2.15 of the eLearning Magic Toolkit introduces a powerful new feature for Articulate Storyline 360 developers: the ability to dynamically generate and download PDF documents directly within a learning activity. This functionality empowers course creators to collect user input, summarise key interactions, and deliver immediate, personalised documentation as part of the learning experience.
Using this feature, variable values captured throughout a Storyline activity can be passed to the Toolkit’s backend PDF generation engine. Within seconds, a fully formatted and branded document is compiled and automatically downloaded in the learner’s browser session—providing a seamless and rewarding end-point to their interaction.
Use Case Ideas:
- Conversation Summaries: Generate a document summarising a user’s simulated coaching or mentoring conversation.
- Self-Reflection Logs: Capture and export a learner’s personal reflections, goals, or written responses to scenario-based questions.
- Compliance Evidence: Automatically produce a proof-of-completion report capturing key inputs or decisions made during a compliance scenario.
- Action Plans: Let users build a personalised action plan during the course, which is exported for review and follow-up.
This feature greatly enhances knowledge retention by enabling learners to keep a personalised reference that reinforces key messages and actions.
