Adding a certificate in your Adobe Captivate project

In the Visual Properties panel, the Content Width slider and Horizontal Padding are linked in the Alignment and Spacing section. Moving the slider from the left side changes the left padding value, and moving the slider from right changes the right padding value. The same change is replicated in the Content Width slider when you change the left or right Horizontal Padding values.

Move the Content spacing slider to adjust the spacing between content and the slide.

In the Design Options section, select any design option. A design option presents pre-configured layouts with cleaner design elements to apply to the widget.

For more information, view Design options in Adobe Captivate.

In the Components section, you can change the following at the widget level:

• Logo: Add or remove the certificate's logo. 
• Title: Add or remove the certificate's title.
• Learner name: Add or remove the learner's name on the certificate. You can pick up the name of the learner from a variable. For more information, view Variables in Adobe Captivate. When you publish the project to an LMS, the learner's name is picked up by this variable. The LMS displays the updated value if the variable value is pre-configured while authoring.
  
• Course name: Add or remove the course name on the certificate. You can pick up the name of the course from a variable. Captivate picks the course name from the LMS preferences, if not already configured in the Variables dialog. For more information, view Variables in Adobe Captivate.
• Body: Add or remove the body text on the certificate.
• Score: Add or remove the score of the learner on the certificate. You can pick up the score from a variable. For more information, view Variables in Adobe Captivate.
• Date: Add or remove the date on the certificate. You can pick up the date from a variable. For more information, view Variables in Adobe Captivate.
• Signature: Add or remove the signature on the certificate.
  
• Caption: Add or remove the name of the signatory on the certificate.
  
• Card: Add or remove to display the card around the certificate.

In the Appearance section, you can replace the background of the certificate. Click the folder icon and select an image from Assets or your computer. View Images in Adobe Captivate for more information on adding and editing images.

Select either Fill or Fit in the Display dropdown.

The Fit option resizes the image to fit within the bounds of its container, whereas the Fill option expands the image to fill the whole container.

The other options available in the dropdown are:

• Stretch
• Original Size
• Tile

Also, add a border and shadow to the image.

If you've enabled Card, then in the Appearance section, in the Card tab, you can add color, border, or shadows to the card.

Select a text, for example, the title of the certificate.

In the Visual Properties panel, change the text's font, style, or color. View Text in Adobe Captivate for more information.

Select the image, for example, the logo on the certificate.

In the Visual Properties panel, replace the logo or change its look and feel. For more information on working with images, view Images in Adobe Captivate.

In the Visual Properties panel, scroll down, and expand the Settings section.

​Enable the Certificate download toggle to allow learners to download their certificate after completing the course.

When enabled, the download icon appears on the upper right corner of the screen, when a learner completes a course or a quiz and views the certificate.
