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 photo is removed from the file, not covered.
- • The text stays exactly where it is.
Questions people ask
+Will the text move into the space?
No. Text stays in place, so the layout does not shift.
+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.
