Step 1: Design

Import our template or create your own design. Import the PDF with layers into SpeedMark and assign parameters and fillings to the object.

Important: If texts are imported from a PDF, they have to be converted into curves before. Otherwise SpeedMark Software does not recognize them as Text. Alternatively, you can produce the text directly in SpeedMark.
