How Overleaf writes resume PDFs
- • pdfTeX embeds Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern or Latin Modern.
- • Kerning and ligatures are written into each line.
- • Resume classes draw rules and align dates with precise spacing.
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 Overleaf?
If you still have the Overleaf version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
