**Refers to:**\\
person form -> CV tab\\
\\
The **CV** tab displays a plain text copy of the candidate’s CV. You can create a new CV from a template or import a CV from an existing Word document.  From version 2.21.8 onwards the ability has been added to have the main CV attached in a PDF format (previously only  .doc, .docx formats allowed)

If the text from the PDF is accessible it will be copied into the CV Text box for search facilities and quick reading, in the same way as happens for .docx files.

Instead of Edit/Print the right hand button will be View/Print\\ \\

In the Documents view file types of pdf and .docx can both now be made into the Current CV using the Make Current CV button.
