Printable / PDF-exportable quizzes

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas
The Quiz Build page provides quiz printing options. For more information, please read through the  Canvas Release Notes (2021-08-21).

 
As an instructor, I want to be able to export a Canvas quiz as a PDF. This would enable me to easily print quizzes for the purpose of accommodation, for allowing a given student to take a quiz outside the timeframe established for the quiz for all other students, etc.

Community Team Note: This idea remains open for voting. A virtually identical idea was moved forward for consideration in March: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/7285-exporting-quizzes-into-word-or-pdf-documents  Contrary to our customary practice, we are allowing both ideas to continue to move forward. Votes and feedback from both ideas will be evaluated.

I have battles with the office of accessibility about this regularly.  Because this doesn't exist, I have to be ready to type out every quiz or exam separately for anyone requiring paper exams.  A print option would be lovely!

@kjl5881  This idea has been completed: the ability to print quizzes has been developed for New Quizzes, as detailed in  How do I print a quiz in New Quizzes? . Our product teams are no longer developing new functionality on the code base for Classic Quizzes, which is scheduled for deprecation.

We used Adobe web forms in the past and use Pages by Apple as the text editor of choice. Ms Word does not like math heavy documents: the maths formulas do not want to show up! 
If you need pdf you can always print what you see as PDF. Often you can specify the page size and how it should be printed: I personally prefer one question per page, but the page is A5 for me.
