How Does It Work? - Zachary Douglass' online funeral program application is very simple. First click on the "Try It Now / Get Started" button. Then follow tabs at the top left. You will select your background or upload your own background through the first tab, upload your image in the second tab, insert text in the third tab, and use the last tab to download your final PDF and print. Periodically, popup windows will also appear to guide you though the few steps. Take a gander at this video to see how it works!
Working With Backgrounds - You can choose from hundreds of funeral program templates (backgrounds) from our online library or you can upload your own background. Backgrounds are also very easy to edit… After you insert your desired background, simply click in the "Edit Background" box and use the tools that will appear in the top left to edit it. View this video for a visual explaination!
Image Editing - To edit an image, first upload the image. When you click on the image the tools will appear above that image. Use these tools to mask, erase, restore, fade, flip, etc. You can also drag and drop your image anywhere on the canvas. Take a peak at this video to see what our powerful yet simple photo editor can do.
Text Editing (Video Coming Soon…) – Our text editor is specifically built for creating funeral programs and other funeral printed products very fast. The built in dot leaders and ability to save text layouts and individual text boxes allows for new and return users to produce finished products very fast. Poems, scripture verses, quotes and any other text that is often used can be saved to your account. This means you will never have to copy and paste text between projects after you have saved it to your account. Text layouts allow you to save ALL your text boxes as a group. For example, if you have saved ten different text boxes to one layout then all you have to do is click on that layout and all the text boxes will be inserted at the same time and in the same position on both the cover and interior pages. This is a HUGE time saver!
Printing Tips (Video Coming Soon…) – In order to print your final product exactly how it looks on your screen you will need to make sure your printer is set to the correct printer settings. This is fairly easy. The main specification you need to make sure to set is the "Fit to Printed Area" setting. Set this to "None" (we have already built in the boarders for you). Then set your printer to print on both sides and make sure to set the auto-flip to the correct side. This will depend on the product you are printing. If you need further help feel free to call us at anytime. We are happy to help!
Access Existing Projects (Video Coming Soon…) - To access an existing project click on the "Login / Members Area" at the top right of this website. Then login with your email and password and find the project in the list. Remember that your products are automatically saved to our server as you create them. This means you can come back at anytime to access your project and the latest version of you product will be available. When you are finished you will also be able to download and save the final PDF file of your project to your computer. We save you project on our server for many years. Enjoy!
