From the source material to the finished result

See what the feature uses, what changes in the workspace, and what still needs your review before the result leaves refresh.cv.

Start with: A selectable-text PDF resume; scanned pages may need OCR or pasted text.
What you get: Editable resume sections plus any text that needs manual placement.

Run the task
Read the PDF text in page order, identify section headings, and separate repeated headers from resume content.
Review and finish
Keep only changes supported by the source, then save a separate version or export the reviewed file.

One concrete change

The example shows structure and review behavior, not a claim to copy. Keep only wording that remains accurate when compared with the source resume, work record, or target job.

Source

A two-column PDF places skills beside experience and repeats the candidate name on page two.

Reviewed result

Skills and experience become separate editable sections; the repeated page header is excluded.

Check before use

Compare page breaks, columns, dates, bullets, and links with the original PDF.
Compare names, dates, scope, numbers, links, and technical terms with the source.

Access and recovery

What the feature needs

If something is unavailable

The source is empty, password-protected, image-only, or cannot be read.: Use a readable file or paste the text, then check the extracted sections before saving.
