# Course completion certificates from a list of names

**Use case:** 

Generate one PDF certificate of completion per student from a simple list with name, course, hours and date. Uses the Classic design with a signature and a unique certificate ID, and gives you a ZIP of all PDFs plus one merged PDF ready to print. Replace the list with your own Google Sheet or CSV and change the text, logo and colors.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/egra_van/bulk-certificate-pdf-generator.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
