Sincerely I don't know how an official at a border can react to this
I know it is possible to obtain something looking better from the Social Security where all vaccinations are recorded instantly by the vaccination centers, but of course to make our life more complicated, it is not possible to download this from your Ameli account. You need to ask the vaccination center (or possibly a doctor ??) connected to the specific system to have it.
As said by Maaloc, it will be possible very soon to have an official QR code in the TousAntiCovid app with your vaccination status. It has been announced that it will start on 29/04. But, at the beginning, it will work only for storing PCR test results for domestic trips (to Corsica) and to DOM-TOM. But they have said that it should be accepted in all EU sometime in May, and hopefully elsewhere in June. What I understood is that vaccinated people will receive a sms from social security and you will need to go to the website sidep.gouv.fr to download your certificate in TousAntiCovid app.

For my coming trip, I will not take any risk and I will have a PCR test. But I will try first to present my "bad looking" vaccination certificates to the officials to see how they react and, if problem, I will show my PCR test. I will of course report here .
From that website, tests results are available online since 19 April. Is that fully operational?
Does it only applies to tests done since 19 April?

Assuming that French vaccinations details are available online, it will be of limited use for international travel until EU countries (not to mention non-EU countries) are linked to that system one way or the other.
I am not an IT specialist, but that seems a major endeavour for EU bureaucracies.

And it is strange that they adopted the Datamatrix code rather than the QR code which is more widely used with larger storage capability.
At least, let's hope that it can generate an "official" printable version in English.
