I’m currently applying to jobs. I’m using Libreoffice to write my CV and cover letter, export them to PDF via Libreoffice’s export function and send them out.

Will those PDFs look the same when opened in Windows? Or can there be issues, for example if the installed fonts on the recipient’s system don’t match, or due to some proprietary fuckery in Adobe software?

    Lot’s of people saying that missing fonts can be an issue if you don’t specifically embed them into the PDF.

      I’m pretty sure if fonts are missing they will still look and print fine but you try to select text to copy and paste it will be no bueno.
