PDF badges

At the Pro level, you also have the option to issue your badges in PDF format. A PDF badge contains the same metadata as the badge, but instead of a PNG picture, the data is embedded in a PDF file. The advantage of a PDF badge lies in its portability, ease of use, and the ability to customize its appearance to resemble a digital certificate.

Enhance the default PDF badge layout by designing your own templates. With a bit of HTML code, variable insertion, image embedding, and CSS styling, you can create beautifully crafted PDF badge templates that reflect your organization’s identity. Take customization even further by designing templates in multiple languages and applying them based on the badge’s language.

As an additional service, we also offer graphical design services to develop templates that align with your expectations.
