Apple Pages resume: make text bold on your resume

Make a title, company or number stand out, or turn stray bold back to regular. This works on the PDF Apple Pages exported. Letters already in the resume are reused exactly; for a new letter in an Apple font, you choose whether to use a close open font.

How Apple Pages writes resume PDFs

  • • Export uses the macOS PDF engine with subset fonts.
  • • Some subsets use custom character codes described only by their text map.
  • • Fonts are often Apple system fonts.

What happens to the rest of your resume

  • • The real bold style of the same family is used when it exists.
  • • If there is no bold style, MythosPDF asks before imitating one.

Questions people ask

+Should I bold numbers in bullets?

Sparingly. One bold figure per bullet draws the eye; more is noise.

+Is it better to edit in Apple Pages?

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