Hi Pete-
PDF certificates are being considered, but that won't happen for a while.
It's far easier from an internal-processing standpoint to keep the printing and
mailing jobs based on a specific event.

Hi Sean - I know you guys are trying to make up for lost time, but why not
aggregate the certificates for given addressees and mail them all together -
it's awfully costly to do the way ARRL is now.
For that matter, I think you should stop mailing certificates altogether, and
just provide links to individual .pdf files. After the initial programming
cost, that would have to save thousands a year, and it's not like color
printers are scarce any more.
