Hi Wesley

It allows us to match the existing current certificate and gives us more flexibility. I can use the current certificate as the background and easily place the fields for name etc where I want. I can save them as templates for re-use making them fast to apply. See attached. 

I can't see how to do any of these in the normal Certificate activity. 

there is talk in Moodle for the plugin to replace the built-in one.

Regards

Stephen
