E-learning has been reinstated.

Please do keep an eye on System Updates and here in this group and avoid raising support tickets related to this if you can. We have spent a lot of work time over the weekend in endless arguments with people about it, but it is being investigated and returned to use as soon as possible.

The PDF creator has always been ropey at best. We will be doing some work today to see if we can address some of the original issues that make the HOPS PDF creator required over the brower's Save as PDF facility, and the OS's Print to PDF facility, eg breaking text across lines etc. If we can improve the behaviour of those to match what the HOPS PDF creator does then that will be a much less risky way to proceed. It will also reduce a maintenance burden for HOPS and allow us to devote that time to other developments.

Thank you to the HOPS program team who have done a great job in responding to Thursday's disruption, including over the bank holiday weekend to ensure unninterrupted service. Once we have been able to fully reinstate our normal service we will be doing some further work in to the original cause and what technology is available to reduce likelihood of a reoccurrence.
