PDF CV Builder

A programme to take Data collected from the users input and transformed it into a PDF using PHP, including a photo and clickable links. This gives the user an option to quickly generate a CV, even while on the go and have it emailed to them or another address. This project uses the FPDF php library http://www.fpdf.org/

Futher development would see options saved locally, and perhaps online in a DB with login access to make it easier to change details. I would also like to offer more Designs for users to pick from.

Done so far:

  • HTML form
  • JS UI to add input fields for sections
  • AJAX Request to POST to PHP
  • Photograph saved to folder from input
  • PHP rough build of pdf CV from data
  • Generated PDF saved

Still to do:

  • CSS - to make the form more presentable, Responsive & user friendly
  • JavaScript checks on Imputs to alert user to any incorrect values given
  • PHP checks of Data & File before making the PDF
  • Check longer inputs and contraints (JS side done, need to complete PHP checks)
  • Change longer names to Initials - all middle names go to initials
  • Make Pdf Prettier
  • Look at TCPDF to see if this will help for layout https://tcpdf.org/

Further Development

  • Add more designs the user can choose from
  • Saves locally
  • Saves to DB with login
  • Make select lists more comprehensive
  • Handle alphabet from other Languages
  • Add more fields
