## Frequently asked questions

### Is this workflow only for plain text PDFs?

No. It begins with text and layout foundations, then supports certificates, posters, image layouts, storyboards, comics, vector pages, brand guides, and watermarked handoffs.

### When should I use a page master?

Use a page master when repeated headers, footers, margins, section labels, or page background rules must stay consistent across many pages.

### Can I use this for batch certificate production?

Yes. Start with the certificate batch tool after the page and data rules are clear, then review a representative sample before exporting the full set.

### Why include watermarking in a generation workflow?

Generated PDFs often need review, confidential, or client-copy markings before distribution, so watermarking is part of a practical delivery path.
