Export

PDF and LaTeX

Career OS exports PDFs through one LaTeX compiler path (Times, letter). DOCX is a separate Word download.

LaTeX PDF (editor, account API, MCP)

Resume JSON → Jake-style LaTeX (assets/js/latex-template.js).
LaTeX → PDF via ytotech pdflatex (/api/convert-latex-to-pdf).

Used by the editor PDF button, /api/account?action=generate-pdf, and MCP generate_resume_pdf. Sign-in is required for server compile; the editor falls back to a local letter-size HTML render if the compiler is down.

No iLovePDF keys are required for PDF export.
Special characters and injection attempts in resume text are escaped in LaTeX.

Related MCP tools

convert_resume_to_latex emits Jake-style LaTeX source.
compile_latex_to_pdf sends raw LaTeX to the same ytotech compiler.

Legacy DOCX → PDF (iLovePDF)

/api/convert-docx-to-pdf remains for direct DOCX uploads only. The editor PDF button does not use it.

Server keys: ILOVEPDF_PUBLIC_KEY and ILOVEPDF_SECRET_KEY, or per-request x-ilovepdf-* headers. Never persisted or pooled.

Optional inline markup in resume JSON (**bold**, *italic*) applies to the DOCX generator when you download Word.

Filenames

Custom name in the editor filename field, if set.
Else {Full_Name}_Resume.pdf.
Else Resume.pdf when the name is empty.

Check conversion status on Settings.
