Hi Steph
I have found the easiest way to work with customising certificate content is to have as little information coming from the system and include all other information in the border image.
This gives control over placement and formatting of the text - the graphic can have signature, titles, course names how you want it to appear.
Hi Stephanie,
The easiest way would just be to customise the certificate to remove the language strings altogether.
If you design the certificate carefully then you can support multiple signatures on one certificate layout. We did this for one of our customers, where the signature is near the bottom right of the certificate and has plenty of space around it for slightly bigger signatures to fit as well.
The other key is to get very high quality scans of the signatures, as when they get shrunk down to fit onto the certificate it will give the best quality.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Cristiano
Hi Steph,
You should be able to add some HTML to the lang string which will both satisfy the need to enter something but won't appear on the page. If you add the line below to the lang string it will display a space on the page.

Hi Steph,
Assuming that all the existing certs use the same background and signature images then if you can leave the original certificate boarder images and signature images alone then the current certificates should look the same after uploading the new backgrounds and signatures. It's probably worth raising a ticket with us to check that this is the case.
You then add the new backgrounds and signatures to be selected in the setup for the certificates you want to look different.
Changes to the images do not effect the dates on certificates.
