How do I personalize my PDF/online tool template?

When you open your template in the tool, you’ll see your design filled in with sample text and wording. It is totally up to you how much you want to edit. You can start by changing the names, dates and locations. Just highlight the sample text and type in your own. Changing the font or text color is easy. Highlight the desired text, then choose a new font or color from the drop down menus over to the right. You can also change the size of the font, the alignment, and the spacing. Use the line height button to change the amount of space between the lines of text, while the Paragraph buttons allow you to move lines of text up or down. If you ever want to start over and go back to the original sample, you can click Restore Default Text and Formatting.

When you’re ready to print, click Review and Download. This will generate the preview of your PDF and show you how your stationery is going to look when it’s printed. Take another good look and make sure it looks great, and then click Download Printable PDF, which saves your complete PDF to your computer. If you see an error, click the Make Changes button to head back to your template and make a correction, then generate your preview again. Ready to print? Double click the PDF icon to open it. The PDF is all set up for you; it has the proper page size and margins and all the customizations you made. 

Tips:

• Before you begin customizing, we recommend that you create an account on our website. This allows you to save your template for later if you didn’t get a chance to finish editing. You can come back to it whenever you’re ready. You must be logged in to your account first in order to save changes.
• It works best to highlight and change small pieces of text rather than the whole design.
• For best results, we recommend hand typing rather than using copy/paste to add information to your template.
• Take a look at the paper size listed below your design, and make a note of it. This will come in handy when you get ready to print.
