How to Check Text Overflow
This guide explains how to Check Text Overflow in a repeatable workflow that works for one document and for a larger imported batch.
Why this step matters
A reliable document starts with a clear purpose: what it confirms, who issues it, and which facts the recipient should understand at a glance. Choose the document type first, then match the visual style to the event and the issuer’s brand.
Use the longest real names as test data; average-length samples hide the most common layout problem.
Step-by-step workflow
- 1
Define the purpose and the intended audience.
- 2
Choose a template appropriate for the formality of the event.
- 3
Enter the recipient, programme, date and issuer.
- 4
Apply brand colours, logo and signatures without clutter.
- 5
Check long names, numbers and optional fields.
- 6
Export a test PDF and inspect it at 100% zoom.
Practical example
For a course, include the programme name, duration, completion date and organiser. For attendance, avoid wording that implies an exam was passed when the document only confirms presence.
Pre-export checklist
- The purpose is stated precisely.
- Recipient data has been checked.
- Branding is consistent.
- Long values fit the layout.
- The QR code, number and dates are correct.
- A sample PDF has been reviewed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- unclear wording about what is being confirmed
- too many fonts and decorative elements
- missing issuer or date
- showing a score or distinction without source data
The built-in project checker helps identify missing fields, duplicate values and possible text overflow, but the issuer should still review source data and a representative sample.
