Can screening software read the PDF?

The PDF holds real, selectable text, laid out in one column in the plain style, and is read back in order before it is offered. KeepSimp cannot promise how any one employer's software scores it.

Is anything I type uploaded?

No. Everything you type stays in your browser, and the PDF is laid out on your device by the same engine as KeepSimp's PDF tools; nothing is sent anywhere.

Can I get a Word file too?

Yes. The Word file is written from the same details, in the same order, so you can change it in Word or Google Docs.

The preview is drawn by your browser; the PDF is laid out from the same page and can break lines a little differently. One column, plain headings and no pictures or tables, which screening software reads most reliably.
