Ok I've got it! Now just how should I get it copied?
As you can see it's on a slightly yellow paper. I just want
to delete the persons name to use as our master copy.
If I take it to a print shop, could there become a legal issue that needs to be avoided?

Glen,
You just need to get it scaned. Then you can send the scan file to me or anybody with PhotoShop to delete the name. The new file could be posted for folks to add their name or I could do it and print and mail a copy for anybody.

Glen,
Scan the document at least 150 dpi with 300 being preferred.
You won't be able to email because the file will be too large!
It probably would best to recreate the document in a vector based program such Adobe Illustrator. Match the fonts and import the bottle and green colored equipment... Edit the name as necessary and print; everyone's an offical soda machine service/repair man now...
Congrats on acquiring this document Glen, this is pretty cool; I have never seen one of these before.

Update on the Certificates:
I'm currently waiting for a CD of Fonts from a friend to hopefully acquire the correct font used in the title of the Repair School Certification. Once this arrives, it's only a matter of minutes to complete this task. Otherwise, I'm going to buy the font to get this behind me and everyone can enjoy there new certificate. Oh yea, I almost forgot about the three part test that I need to send to everyone that wants a certificate ! ! ! It's approximately one hundred questions that I have extracted from service manuals... (just kidding)
Which brings me to my next question, how would you like me to distribute the document...? Before we get to this though, I'll need a list of names so I can create the customized certifications; then I can distribute the file! My concern is a format that everyone will be happy with; however, I may be leaning toward PDF for this...

Do you know what kind of paper it is printed on (weight, etc.)? Is there any kind of water mark on it?

I'm not up on my paper weights, but I would say the paper weight was a little thicker than 20 lb... The major difference is that the original was very slightly textured...
Glen may be able to clarify better since he has the original...

I know nothing about paper weights or water stains :biggrin: but I can take it to a print shop for their evaluation when print time arrives.

OK folks,
We're ready for delivery!
I'm utilizing Adobe PDF format for distribution. so hopefully, everyone that will be receiving one has Acrobat Reader...
Now, are we going with the original date or, as suggested, the more recent date 11/07/2000...?
And lastly, who is eligible and I'll need first & last names for correct spelling...

I'm just sitting here on the fence since I'm not sure about the date. I can go either way.

Actually, I can customize the date on an individual basis if necessary...
Personally, I like the original date but will see how things pan out as everyone chimes in...

I think the original date makes more sense with the content of the certificate.

Jim,
The link to certficates is down or was when I tried it. BTW thanks for your hard work on this, I appreciate it. When I download mine and print it, it'll have a spot on the wall in my shop next to the USS 8 64 !

<font color='#000000'>Wouldn't it be cool to take this, repro it, and insert your own name?
Look what you created Dan :biggrin:
Earlier I stated that I didn't mind if the font's were not the same, but after seeing the finished product I am so glad Jim followed through to get the exact match. :happydrinkers:
I took the original to a paper supplier and the best i could find was this 24# linen type paper colored Chatham Tan. It has the original rough texture not the smooth finish that is so prevailant in copy stores.
My first printout of this document was on white shiny paper. When I found the yellow paper and printed.....it looked so aged, the white paper looks so new :glare: Trimmed the document down to 8" X 10" to fit the frame as the original was!
Here is the original next to the finished product! And thanks so much Jim!

Glen,
Thanks for posting the original/reproduction photo!
It looks pretty close; I can see now that the color is slightly off on the border...
John,
halehouse is having difficulties getting his Certificate as well... This is strange that some of you can get it while others cannot even though you're all set with the same group permissions...
Anyone having difficulties, PM me and I may have to email the Cert individually...

OK ! ! !
This is good news that everyone is able to get their certificates.
I was pulling my hair trying figure out what the problem is with this...
For some reason, I also have better luck at work with logging in; at home, it seems I have to log out and then back in for some reason...
At any rate, there are still other members I'm awaiting info from so I can upload your personalized cert...
At the end of Aug., I'll be removing all of them from the web site, so be sure to download yours...
