I'm curious about a feature - and perhaps I have missed how to do this.
When a certificate is generated in Catalog, the output is a PDF. However, it appears that the PDF is not locked for editing - so someone could potentially change it. Is there a way to produce a locked PDF?
Thank you for any insight you can provide!
Are you speaking about when you select a certificate from the completions tab? If so, I think this is made editable for Catalog Admins to edit items just in case. But, otherwise, yes, I would agree in the Student Dashboard the PDFs are editable. Could you please submit a feature request for this? Thank you for pointing this out.
Thank you! I've figured out how to do that and have submitted it!
Great! Please tag it with #catalog enhancements and share it here.
Hi folks,
I've now added this as a feature request and it is open for voting!

I meant #catalogenhancements my bad. Can you please update this?
Done!
Thanks.
You don't need the hashtag. Only catalogenhancements
