Certificate Maker: Awards

Use this certificate maker to review the PDF you will save and turn a recipient roster into an award for each name. Award Studio brings document review and batch certificates into the same workflow.

▶ REVIEW THE PDF YOU WILL SAVE
• Generate PDF preview, then review pages rendered from that generated PDF before choosing Save PDF. The reviewed document is the file kept in My awards.
• Save PNG archive creates a ZIP of images rendered from the same PDF pages.
• Text that does not fit or contains unsupported characters blocks export. The affected rows and fields are shown so you can revise the text.
• PDF size and page count are checked before an export is saved. Sharing is a separate step after the file is stored in the app.

▶ KEEP YOUR RECIPIENT ROSTER IN ORDER
• In Batch, paste names on separate lines or import a CSV with a name or recipient column. Use Load roster to see the recipients.
• Each retained row gets a certificate page in the input order. Duplicate names are highlighted and counted; they stay in the roster until you select rows for removal.
• Remove selected rows shows the before and after counts for confirmation. Choose Compose for this roster to use the names in a batch PDF.

▶ CHOOSE A TEMPLATE FOR THE OCCASION
• Browse 102 templates: 17 award types, each in six frame styles. Category chips narrow the list, and every thumbnail shows its actual frame.
• Sports awards for football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, athletics, hockey and cycling sit alongside achievement, attendance, school, employee of the month, kids’ reward, course completion and appreciation.
• Gift voucher templates print a Voucher code and an expiry date; certificate templates print a Certificate ID. Each page also carries a scannable code holding that ID as a reference code. It is not a validity check.

▶ MAKE THE CERTIFICATE YOURS
• Edit the title, subtitle, recipient, award text, issuer and code prefix. Set dates with day, month and year steppers or Today and Yesterday; they print as written-out dates in the draft’s language.
• Choose A4 or Letter paper, in landscape or portrait. Add a star, laurel or shield seal, or leave the seal off.
• Pick a logo image and draw a signature to include in the document. Edits are saved to a draft as you work, and your latest draft opens again next time.

▶ KEEP DRAFTS AND SAVED EXPORTS
• My awards lists drafts and saved exports. Open a draft to continue composing, or review and share a saved PDF.
• Create a multipart backup of readable records, PDFs, logos and signatures. Restore the manifest and its parts together; deleted items stay deleted when backups are merged.

▶ GOOD TO KNOW
• A job supports up to 200 recipients. Split larger rosters into separate jobs. CSV input must fit within 1 MiB.
• Unsupported text must be changed before export. Devices without the page renderer cannot show PDF previews or create PNG archives; PDF export is restricted to supported text.
• Voucher codes and expiry dates are printed information. Voucher redemption is not managed by the app.
• Drafts and saved exports are kept in this app. Use Share PDF or Share PNG archive to send a file elsewhere. Keep the backup manifest and all its parts together. Damaged records need separate raw-text export.
