Frequently asked questions

Why does AltaCV Resume compile with XeLaTeX?

Its source needs XeLaTeX: pdfLaTeX would stop on it. LetX reads the source when you open the template and sets the project to XeLaTeX, so it compiles as published without changing a setting.

What does the AltaCV Resume template load?

It uses the altacv class (options: 10pt, a4paper, withhyper), builds with XeLaTeX, and loads 30 packages, including paracol, roboto, lato, etoolbox, xcolor, pdfx, accsupp and xparse. It ships its own altacv.cls, which is part of the project when you open it.

How does AltaCV Resume handle references?

It uses BibLaTeX. References live in a .bib file, and the build runs the bibliography step for you, so citations and the reference list update every time you compile.

How long is the AltaCV Resume sample?

The compiled sample is 2 pages, from 11 files: 1 .tex, 1 .bib, 6 images, 1 class or style file, 2 other. Replace the sample text with yours and the layout stays.

Is the AltaCV Resume template free to use online?

Yes. "Open as Template" makes it your own LetX project: edit the LaTeX in the browser, invite collaborators to edit with you in real time, and download the compiled PDF. There is nothing to install.
