Printing professional PDF completion certificates with customized background images, course titles, signatures, and print dates in Articulate Storyline has never been easier! I’m excited to share with you the easiest method I’ve created using custom JavaScript.

Step 1: Capture Learner Information

  1. Capture the learner’s name by adding a text entry field on any slide. Remember to label the variable as “LearnerName.”
  2. Configure the variables to ensure accurate certificate data:
    • Rename the TextEntry variable as “LearnerName”.
    • Create a variable named “CourseTitle” and enter your course title as the variable value.
    • Create a variable called “Sign” and specify your signature title as the variable value.

Step 2: Add JavaScript for Certificate Generation

Create a JavaScript trigger that executes when the timeline starts on the your print slide (this slide). Copy the given JavaScript code and paste it into this trigger.

Step 3: Add JavaScript for Printing

Create a JavaScript trigger that executes when the user clicks on your print button. Copy the code and paste it into this trigger.

That’s it! With these three incredible steps, you’ll effortlessly enhance your course with personalized completion certificates. I’m confident that this method will bring immense value to your learning experience.
