How LaTeX writes resume PDFs

  • • pdfTeX embeds Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern or Latin Modern.
  • • Kerning and ligatures are written into each line.
  • • Resume classes draw rules and align dates with precise spacing.

What happens to the rest of your resume

  • • The name keeps its size, weight and colour.
  • • A centred name stays centred.

Questions people ask

+What if my new name uses letters the font never had?

The complete font is loaded; for fonts that are not open, you are asked before a close open font is used.

+Is it better to edit in LaTeX?

If you still have the LaTeX version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
