Certificate Generator

This Python script generates certificates for a list of names provided in the name_list variable. The certificates are created by overlaying the names on a certificate template image using a specified font. The resulting certificates are saved as PDF files in the certificates directory.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• Pillow library (PIL) for image processing: Install using pip install Pillow

Usage

1. Prepare your certificate template:

   • Ensure your certificate template is in a supported image format (e.g., PNG, JPEG).
   • Name the template image file cert.png and place it in the same directory as the script.

2. Prepare your font file:

   • Choose a TrueType font (TTF) file to be used for the names on the certificates.
   • Name the font file BRUSHSCI.TTF (or update font_path variable in the script) and place it in a fonts directory in the same location as the script.

3. Modify the list of names:

   • Open the script in a text editor and update the name_list variable with the names you want to generate certificates for.

4. Run the script:

   • Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory containing the script.
   • Run the script by executing python script_name.py (replace script_name.py with the actual name of your Python script).

5. Generated Certificates:

   • The generated certificates will be saved as PDF files in the certificates directory.

Notes

• Ensure the font size and location settings in the script (font_size, location) are appropriate for your certificate template.
• Verify the color settings (text_color) for proper visibility against the certificate background.
• Test the script with a small set of names first to ensure the certificates are generated as expected.
