A certificate is not a picture. It is a physical imposition problem: it gets printed on a sheet, trimmed on a guillotine, and handed to someone. Every number below is what BatchCanvas actually writes into the PDF it exports. Nothing here is aspirational — it is read out of the export code, so your print shop can check any line of it against a test file.
Not a government portal. BatchCanvas designs and prints documents you issue. It cannot issue anything. If you are looking for a birth, caste, income, death, domicile, EWS, or bonafide certificate, that comes from your state e-district portal — not from here.
Each row is a value the PDF generator sets. The final column is the failure it prevents, which is usually the reason a batch comes back from the printer.
One row deserves a second read: the 300 option is a render scale, not a guaranteed delivered DPI. A 1414×1000 px template prints at 121 DPI on A4 and at roughly 378 DPI once scaled, so the number that actually reaches paper depends on your pixel dimensions against the sheet size — not on the name of the option you picked.
Two things to check on your own test file before committing to a large run: that a QR code still scans after printing at your chosen card size, and that your longest attendee name still sits inside the safe area once auto-shrink has run. Both are properties of your data and your card size, not of the exporter.
A print shop prices sheets, not documents. Pick your card format, enter your record count, and this returns the sheet count, the rotation-aware yield, the waste percentage, and the paper cost.
A 3 mm mark at a 1.5 mm offset from the trim edge, at 0.5 pt line thickness in 25% grey. Both values are adjustable in PDF print settings. When a bleed is set, the marks are pushed outside the bleed edge so they never print on the artwork.
Yes. On multi-up grid exports BatchCanvas sets the TrimBox to the cell block on the sheet (every cell plus the gaps between them) and the BleedBox to that area expanded by your bleed amount, which defaults to 0 mm.
Send them the imposition rather than the document count. What matters to a print shop is the sheet count, the trim size of each cell, the paper stock, and whether the bleed and crop marks are present. Copy the quote below and it states all four.
No. BatchCanvas is a design tool, not a government service, and it issues nothing. Birth, caste, income, death, domicile, EWS, and bonafide certificates are issued only by your state e-district portal or the relevant department. If you are the one issuing certificates in bulk, you are in the right place.
