With the new ability for faculty to create syllabus content right in Populi, we need the option to export that syllabus content to pdf format. There are many occasions where a syllabus needs to be sent externally - to another institution for transfer credit or to a potential student interested in the course, etc.

Evan Donovan I know the formatting might not be ideal, but how I would do this, for now, would be to use the Save as PDF... functionality in some web browsers, or else do a Print for the web page, and then select PDF as the Printer. (The latter can be done in Chrome.)
If you wanted to fix the formatting, you could use something like the Web Developer feature in Chrome or the Stylish browser extension to customize the CSS (formatting of the page), prior to printing it to PDF. -
Kim Huizinga When I try to print the syllabus page as instructed above, it prints everything about the course except the syllabus. That is not helpful. Please find a way to export the syllabus for prospective students or other schools considering transfer credits for a student. Thank you.

Vadim Chepurny Batch exporting of syllabi based on Populi course information would be a big time saver!
I've also opened this feature request:
However, if this is implemented, the other early access to syllabi would not be critical.
