App features & Guides

• Select a csv file, if you wish to, you can change the separator
• Select the people whom you wish to email to

2. Email Design

• After exporting, you can import the same design back.
• Make sure you click SAVE DESIGN after done with your design (even if you're importing)
• If you want to use variables, (like name from csv file in step 1) just wrap them in ^*....*^ in anywhere in your email design

3. Cert Design

• Must use JPG format, PNG format is too big, which causes the app to crash when trying to create Blob URL for email sending
• Will only be used if you checked 'use cert' in email settings

• Filename default is attachment if no name is specified.
• Sometimes if the pdf is not updating, click any of the slider.
• Due to unknown issue, the fonts are kinda above 0, so you must set Y to bigger than 0 to start seeing the words
• The words in the file will be replaced with name column as specified in email setting
• You can set align center to true, then the X position will be used as the center of the texts.
• For centering, you can use the align center and x distance of 105 or 149 for portrait and landscape respectively.
• Note: Sometimes the cert will be unresponsive, then you need to drag the X & Y slider and you'll see the preview being updated.
