Go to the PDF Creator and create a document with a background based on another PDF file or create empty document. Each template created using the creator can (and should) include selected data fields available in the registration form. This way, the system will personalize PDF files created based on the template.
This module will enable you to prepare templates not only for badges but also for tickets, passes, certificates, and other documents that may require personalization.
Templates can be created in two ways:
- By using a background in the form of your own PDF file containing, for example, a badge or certificate design.
- By using a blank document, the dimensions of which (in millimeters) should be provided when creating the template. This method is mainly suitable for preparing templates for self-adhesive labels, where the content of the project is limited only to participant data and QR codes.
After selecting the preferred method, you will proceed to the creator screen. In the empty field visible in the top toolbar, provide the template's name. Add personalized data fields using the "Add new field" button. Each new field will appear in the central part of the project as a rectangle with the text "Lorem ipsum." Drag the field into the designated project area and use the options in the FIELD OPTIONS in the right column to specify:
- data type,
- font (from over 1500 fonts in the Google Fonts library),
- font weight,
- text size (in pixels),
- text color,
- line spacing,
- text alignment,
- and optionally center the field in relation to the document area.
The added field will also appear in the right column on the LAYERS list. Here, you can change the default field name from "Lorem ipsum" to something easier to associate with the selected data type and rearrange its order on the list. Changing the order will also change the layer level in the document.
When you finish designing, use the Save button, which enables the use of the project, for example, during the next mailing. Using the Save and Generate PDF button will take you to the screen with the list of attendees. You can generate a PDF for all those you select from the list. However, remember that you can apply filters to generate the document for a set of attendees that meet your criteria.
