How FlowCV writes PDFs
- • Resumes are rendered by a browser engine and embedded as Type3 or subset fonts.
- • Bullets are sometimes drawn as shapes with a tiny text copy for screen readers.
- • Contact rows mix icons and text.
What that means when you change a name
- • MythosPDF recognises drawn bullets and icon rows, so edits keep bullets and icons in place.
- • Because FlowCV uses open fonts, any letter you type is set in the exact same font, even if the PDF never contained it.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • A longer name pushes the words after it along the line; right aligned names grow to the left.
- • Names often contain letters the PDF has not used yet, like Z, Q or accented letters. The complete font is loaded for them.
Questions people ask
+Should I change names on official documents?
Only on documents you are entitled to change, such as your own drafts, templates and letters.
+Is it better to edit in FlowCV?
If you have the original FlowCV file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
