[LON-CAPA-users] Exporting syllabus

How did it get into to Lon-CAPA, through CSTR, or was it Uploaded into
the course through DOCS?

Aye.

Strange, I am assuming by PDF export you are doing a 'PRT' of the file
and then trying to send that on.

Or are you doing something else?

I guess a Download Raw File' link could be nice.
