Open toolA worked example
Application PDF: prepare your CV and supporting files
A one-page cover letter, two-page CV and three pages of supporting evidence make six pages in total. If one PDF is requested, merge the checked files in that order. Keep them separate when individual files are required.
Frequently asked questions
Should I always put everything in one file?
Follow the vacancy or application portal. Some recipients want one PDF; others require separate uploads. The tools support both workflows without determining the recipient’s requirements.
What should I check after compression?
Open the downloaded PDF and check small text, supporting evidence, page order and completeness. A smaller file is useful only if the necessary information remains readable.
