Tailor the short summary at the top for each application. This works on the PDF Canva exported. Each text box reflows inside its own box, and shapes behind the text are left alone.

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
- • Pasted text takes the summary's own font and size.
- • Shorter text pulls the sections below up; longer text pushes them down.
Questions people ask
+How long should a summary be?
Two to four lines is typical. The editor shows the wrap as you type.
+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.
