Upload Stationery
You can upload PDF stationery files to be used, like letterhead, to customize the following printed forms:
- Bid Sheets
- Printed Event Catalog
- Display Pages
- Gift Certificates
- Participant Statements
- Item Donor Receipts
Create a PDF file with the logo (and text) you want to use at the top and/or bottom of the form you want to use as stationery. You can have a different piece of stationery for each form.
Stationery File Guidelines
The stationery file must be saved as a PDF file. It can not be a simple image or a Word document, it must have the PDF file format.
The page size of the stationery file should match the page size of the form exactly.
- If you are producing a letter-size bid sheet, the stationery PDF page size must be letter-size as well.
- If you have reduced the page size, for example to produce a booklet format catalog, you must also use a matching size stationery.
The top and bottom margins of a stationery file specify distance parameters to keep the form within the top and bottom edges.
- Make sure, when specifying these margins, you set the correct units in either inches or centimeters.
You cannot adjust the left and right margins on most forms. This being the case, stationery files tend to work best when only providing content for the top and/or bottom of the page.
Content that appears white on the page, such as the background of the bid sheet's grid, is typically not transparent. If your stationery file has a background image for example, it won't show through in these spots.
