Hi all,
I just wanted to share an Inkscape accomplishment. My customer wanted
certificates of completion for for their students after their students
completed my Troubleshooting Course. So I made a certificate of
completion, with a token where the student name should have been, and
then wrote a small Python program which read each student name,
replaced the token in the Inkscape file, then converted to PDF. It
worked flawlesly.
Now I'm expanding the Python program to have tokens for not only the
name, but also the place, date range, course title, date of signature,
and a few other things, and I'm going to start offering to all my
customers.
Inkscape is the perfect product to do this because it's basically just
an XML file that easily accommodates token strings replaceable by
Python, Perl, Ruby, Lua, C, sed or awk. And Inkscape is easy to create
certificate graphics in, and it produces small PDFs.
Thanks for the great graphics program.
