Document Classes ⇒ Certificate Template

[julianof]

Hello!

I'm an intermediate LaTeX user, however I've never created my own template.

I looked all over the Internet and couldn't find any templates on certificates (those you get for completing some course or going to an event).

The problem is that I never created a template before! I'd like some suggestions to decide where to start! There are a couple of things I need to know:

1. How to get the page in landscape mode
2. How to place figures wherever I want (just giving their exact coordinates, perhaps?)
3. How to get the text in the right place

Yeah.. I know that's a lot of questions.. Help anyone?

Thanks! =D

(I'm not sure this is the right forum, sorry if it is misplaced)

A special document class is not needed. Necessary enhancements can be done with packages.

[...] 1. How to get the page in landscape mode [...]

Document class option of the same name.

[...] 2. How to place figures wherever I want (just giving their exact coordinates, perhaps?) [...]

Package textpos.

[...] 3. How to get the text in the right place [...]

Same as for second point.


Best regards and welcome to the board
