This very quick demonstration arose from a discussion on the Articulate Community Forum “E-Learning Heroes”. The question was how to create a certificate of completion in a RISE Course.

In the demonstration, we insert a Storyline Block at the end of our course that captures the learner’s name using a text entry block (we could obtain the learner’s name using JavaScript from the LMS if necessary). It then uses JavaScript to open a certificate template. The template is our certificate created as a pdf ‘form’ with two ‘fillable’ fields – the learner’s name and the date. Our code uses the pdf-lib JavaScript library to open the pdf form, ‘unpack’ the form data, obtain the field names and then fill in the form by assigning our retrieved name and the current date to these fields.
