        $pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 9);
        $pdf->SetTextColor(0, 0, 0);
        $pdf->SetXY(3, 2);

class UserCertificate extends AbstractDocumentFromTemplate
{
    protected ?string $sourceTemplateDisk = 'pfd_templates';

    public function __construct(User $user)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
    }

    {
        $pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 14);
        $pdf->SetTextColor(51, 51, 51);
        switch ($page) {
            case 1:
                $pdf->SetXY(5, 40);
                $pdf->Cell(90, 10, 'Test name', 0, 1, 'C');
                break;
            case 2:
                $pdf->SetXY(5, 40);
                $pdf->Cell(90, 10, 'Other page data', 0, 1, 'L');
                break;
        }
        
        return $pdf;
