One of the new features on the 3.0 version of our CV maker is that the PDF CV editor allows users to create unlimited sections of their CVs.
Most of the sections have subsections in order to add subsets of information inside sections such as work experiences, degrees, skills, achievements, etc.
Sections are always composed by a section title and their content. The content can be a fixed element or a set of subsections. Some sections allow users to edit text formatting such as adding lists, links highlighting or bold text elements, etc.
In order to completely delete a section, simply use the icon on the right top corner of the section you need to telete.
Sorting sections is easy, use the arrow icons ( ) to sort sections up and down or sidewise.
Some of the elements on the header of your PDF CV are editable, others aren't, the same way, some header elements can be hidde if you don't want them in your CV at all, others, like your email address is a mandatory element.
In order to download a PDF CV simply click on the "DOWNLOAD CV" button on the top-right corner of the PDF CV editor. The download will then start within a few seconds. However, free account limitations might prevent the download from starting. In this event, a message will pop up telling you why your CV can't be download with your free account and how to find the workaround it. In the link below you'll find information on which designs are free to download and under which circunstances.
You can apply different designs or template to a PDF CV, and see whichone meets the needs of your application. JOB HUNTER account users can pick any design and will be able to download no matter the design. However, althought JOB SEEKER account users can pick any template to see how their CV looks with it, they will only be able to download the PDF CV with a free template.
Another 3.0 version new feature is the option to edit styles within a PDF CV template. Users can change their PDF CV font types, font sizes and colors.

One of the available sections on your PDF Cv is the "QR Code" section. This section consists of a text block and a QR code. The QR code appearing on your CV was generated when you generated the CV or the section for the first time. Unfortunately its link can't be modified. The way around then will be to add a new section with the link that you need, copy and paste the text from the old section if you have any and then remove the section with the outdated QR code.
In this article we go into details on how to change the image on your CV or remove it.
