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. Downloads live in the Download & history sheet, with Download PDF in the editor bar for the most common case. Sharing is the editor’s Share mode.

​
Download a file

The Download tab of the Download & history sheet offers five 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 five formats from their own Download & history sheet. Publish in the Share mode turns on a web 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 panel you can:
  • Copy the link or open the web page.
  • Let visitors download the PDF, or not.
  • Require a password before anyone can view it.
  • Make one published resume your primary resume, available at rx.cv/your-username on the hosted service or at your instance’s address if you self-host. You can also connect your own domain when your server supports it.
  • See how many times the page was viewed and the PDF downloaded over the last 30 days.
Web pages ask search engines not to list them unless you turn on Show in search engines, and you can hide your contact details from the page, its PDF and search results. 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. Hiding contact details removes dedicated contact fields from the public page and its PDF; review free text yourself. Disabling downloads doesn’t stop copying or screenshots, and exported files already sent to someone remain with them.
