Should I print a certificate in portrait or landscape?

Landscape is the traditional shape for certificates and is the default here, because it gives the name and title room to breathe across the page. Print it on the heaviest paper your printer accepts, such as card stock, so it feels like a proper award.

Can I add a signature?

Yes. The certificate includes a signature line with a label you set, such as a name or a role. Sign it by hand after printing, which keeps it personal and avoids storing any signature image.

Can I use A4 and US Letter?

Yes. A4 is standard in most of the world and US Letter in the United States and Canada. Pick whichever your printer uses before you download, and select the matching size in your print dialog so nothing is cut off or rescaled.
