Configure your PDF templates
Cathedra Manager lets you print your acts directly onto your pre-printed official forms. Upload your form's PDF as a background page, then visually position the fields to print on it — no technical skills required.
Step 1: Access template configuration
- In the menu, go to Settings → Sacrament PDF templates.
- You see one card per sacrament type (7 types).
Step 2: Upload your official form
- Click Configure on the desired type card (e.g. Baptism).
- Click Choose a background PDF and select your pre-printed form (PDF, max 5 MB).
- The form is shown as a preview.
Step 3: Position fields with the visual editor
- Click Open editor. The full-screen editor opens with your form as the background.
- The field palette on the left lists 16 available items: name, first name, dates, register number, godfather, godmother, father, mother, spouse, witness…
- Drag and drop a field from the palette onto the desired location on the form.
- Each placed field can be moved, resized (width) and have its font size adjusted.
- Navigate between pages if your form has several.
- Enable Preview mode to see real values instead of field names.
Step 4: Save the configuration
- Click Save configuration.
- From now on, all acts of this sacrament type will be printed with this template.
Test the configuration on a printed test sheet once or twice to verify positioning is perfect before using it for real official acts.
