How Microsoft Print to PDF writes resume PDFs

  • • Microsoft Print to PDF often draws every letter as a shape, so nothing can be selected.
  • • Applicant tracking systems cannot read a resume with no text.
  • • Thin letters and punctuation from many lines are often batched into one shape.
  • • See the Print to PDF section for how the text is recovered.

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 Microsoft Print to PDF?

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