Export format issues

Fix problems with downloaded resume and cover letter files.

Sometimes exported files don't appear as expected. Here's how to diagnose and fix common export issues.

PDF Issues

Common PDF export problems:

1
Blank or missing pages: Try re-downloading
2
Formatting looks different: Check your PDF viewer settings

Links not clickable: Ensure you're opening in a PDF reader, not browser preview

Tips
  • Use Adobe Acrobat Reader for best compatibility
  • Avoid browser built-in PDF viewers for final review
  • Zoom to 100% to see accurate formatting

DOCX Issues

Common Word document problems:

Formatting issues: Open in Microsoft Word for best results

Missing fonts: Use standard fonts (Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman)

Layout shifts: May occur between different Word versions

Download Problems

If files won't download:
