I’m currently applying to jobs. I’m using Libreoffice to write my CV and cover letter, export them to PDF via Libreoffice’s export function and send them out.
Will those PDFs look the same when opened in Windows? Or can there be issues, for example if the installed fonts on the recipient’s system don’t match, or due to some proprietary fuckery in Adobe software?
Yes, that’s the entire point of PDFs.
Judging by the other answers here, it doesn’t seem that straightforward.
Curious, nothing of that made it to my instance.
Same here. I can only see your reply and the replies to that. Five in total, if you include mine.
Lot’s of people saying that missing fonts can be an issue if you don’t specifically embed them into the PDF.
Not it’s fine , trying to edit the PDFs may cause the problem.
I’m pretty sure if fonts are missing they will still look and print fine but you try to select text to copy and paste it will be no bueno.
