How Canva writes resume PDFs
- • Designs are exported with subset fonts, many of them Google Fonts.
- • Each text box is placed on its own, often line by line.
- • Shapes, icons and photos are layered around the text.
What happens to the rest of your resume
- • The heading keeps its size, capitals, colour and rule.
- • Letter spaced headings stay letter spaced.
Questions people ask
+Can I add a new section?
Use Add below after a heading and the lines under it; each new line copies the style above.
+Is it better to edit in Canva?
If you still have the Canva version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
