LibreOffice resume: combine your resume and cover letter
Send one PDF with your cover letter first and resume after. This works on the PDF LibreOffice exported. Text edits in place in the embedded fonts, and open default fonts mean new letters match exactly.
How to do it
- 1.Open Merge PDF.
- 2.Add the cover letter and the resume, in that order.
- 3.Download the combined PDF.
How LibreOffice writes resume PDFs
- • Export embeds subset TrueType fonts.
- • Paragraphs are written line by line.
What happens to the rest of your resume
- • Every page is kept exactly as it was.
- • Links in both files keep working.
Questions people ask
+Should they be one file?
Only if the application asks for a single upload.
+Is it better to edit in LibreOffice?
If you still have the LibreOffice version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
