Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone can help, I’m trying to print a post course certificate for my learners( I will be using this as a separate module in captivate prime) In order to provide my learners with a certificate. This module will be one slide, which will populate itself with the learners details and course completion date and then enable them to print off and email or save as a PDF.  I have tried the Certificate widget and found that it is unfortunately too limiting for my needs and it also does not print on a4 paper to a 100%, merely placing a certificate on the top1/4 of the page, and it leaves the print icon on the certificate!!!. ( this may just be me not utilising the widget correctly though).

So I am unable to use the certificate widget. Previous LMS that I have used and come in contact with have provided learners with a full page certificate, that automatically populates with the relevant data( learners are not required to input data themselves Ie Name). This certificate they can then print and or save as a PDF, without having to change the print settings (landscape/portrait, scale).

From research it would seem that this used to be possible with Dynamic PDF’s and some plug-in that I can not find anywhere ( this is going back to 2011).

I have tried creating a basic slide where nothing moves, with a button for printing using js window.print();. This option does not work as the certificate does not fill a full page, instead only part of the certificate will show on the page and should I adjust the sizes the closest I can get the certificate to is roughly 2/3 of the page which is not good enough for my needs. I also can not expect my learners to have to fiddle around with printer settings in order to get the certificate to fit on the page.

Is anyone aware of any other methods by which I can achieve a full a4 certificate, that does not require learner input/adjustment.
