Reactive Resume gives you two ways to get a resume in front of someone: download a file, or share a link to a live page. Both live in the Share sheet in the editor, and Download PDF sits in the editor bar for the most common case.

​
Download a file

The Download tab in the Share sheet offers four formats: You can set the file name before downloading. If the resume belongs to a job application that has a cover letter, you can download the letter at the same time. Cover letters download in the same four formats from their own Share sheet. The Link tab turns on a public page for the resume at an address such as rxresu.me/your-username/your-resume. You choose the last part of the address. From the same tab you can:
  • Copy the link or open the public page.
  • Let visitors download the PDF, or not.
  • Require a password before anyone can view it.
  • See how many times the page was viewed and the PDF downloaded over the last 30 days.
Public pages are not listed anywhere and ask search engines not to index them. People find them only through a link you share. Turn the link off and the page stops working immediately.

​
When to download and when to share

Download a file when an application asks for an upload, or when you want a fixed copy that will not change. Share a link when the reader can open a URL and should always see your latest version, for example in an email signature, a portfolio or a networking message. If only certain people should read the resume, add a password. A link on its own is not access control: anyone who has it can open it.
