I do not know why that is the size as I found it wasn’t ideal either.

I recently wrote up a little post about some certificate things I learned and that was one of the things I brought up.

Here is the link if you’re interested in the rest.

@gstager Many thanks for this. Do you think it would be possible to change the size of the certificate and have that reflected in the size of the PDF output? I changed the size of the background image, but unfortunately this leaves blank spaces in the PDF output.

I guess I am not sure about what you mean by spaces in the PDF output. I am expecting some space around the edges as I don’t do an edge to edge print.

Here is how I do the printer setup.

It is not our final deliverable but this is a black and white version of a test I threw together as I worked on spacing of text. I look forward to a new and improved certificate making process. The black border in the image below represents the edges of my paper. At this point, I was satisfied with the dimensions of the background image. I leave the space so that it can fit nicely in a frame.

Has anybody run into long course names not wrapping?  My course names are going off the page.  How do I wrap the text in the Certificate Template?

Is your text within a defined container, like a table cell with a defined width or anything like that? Or is it just free on the page?

I have put it both within a table and outside.  It runs long.  I’d love to keep the font size relatively large-ish so it looks nice even if it goes to 2 lines.  Please and thanks in advance!

It runs long within the table too? Did you define the width of the table cell that it is within?
