Tips on making a certificate
-
If you want to print a certificate you made in VistaCreate — there’s nothing stopping you! Just keep in mind that the printed certificate will only look as good with quality ink and paper. To create a certificate for print, pick a template you like, customize it, and download your ready-made design in PDF Print format. This will help you maintain quality.

Create a printed certificate to show off your performance. Just pick a template you like in VistaCreate, customize it, and download it in PDF Print format. You can laminate your printed certificate for durability, or frame it to be hung on the wall. However, we do not recommend doing this with important documentation that, for instance, verifies your identity. It’s better to keep it in a neat, dark place, so that it’s protected and preserves well.
