Customize Your Directory PDF: Layout and Pages Overview

You can customize both the look of your directory and what pages are included before generating your PDF.

This article gives you a quick overview of how it all works and where to make changes.

How Your Directory is Built

There are two main areas that control your directory PDF:

1. PDF Layout

Controls how your directory looks:

• Font style
• Font size (roster pages)
• Color (full color or black & white)
• Image quality

Use this when you want to adjust the appearance of your directory.

2. PDF Pages

Controls what is included in your directory and in what order:

• Cover page
• Pastor letter
• Staff pages
• Family photo or text roster pages
• Custom pages (uploaded by you)

Use this when you want to control the content and structure of your directory.

Where to Find These Settings

1. Log in as an Admin
2. Click Customize in the left menu
3. Select:
   • PDF Layout to adjust appearance
   • PDF Pages to choose and arrange pages

Changes are saved automatically and will apply the next time you generate your PDF.

Common Tasks

➤ Add or upload a custom page

Custom pages (like newsletters, forms, or special inserts) are uploaded separately and then added to your directory.

• Custom pages in the Member App are displayed alphabetically by title, not by PDF order.

Next Step
