  • 1.  Datatag placement in certificates

    Posted 07-23-2025 06:03

    Does anyone have any tips for formatting certificates? We create our own and need to upload a background image and the name datatag gets placed in the centre of the certificate but this is not the centre of the image we see in the editing screen. It's complete guesswork, we've used gridlines and placed the datatag in the same place as other certificates which show correctly but the placement always jumps around. Not having a preview option is annoying as we need to save and generate a new download each time. 

    We need to create 34 versions in different languages so any tips would be welcome.

    Hi there! The background image never worked for me. Instead, I added an image by dragging it from "components" and adjusted to fit my desired size. Once we place the data tag in the spot we need, we duplicate the certificate from there. I can see how this would still be difficult if you need to replace the data tag with a different one.  If this is the case, maybe add and adjust before deleting the original data tag.
