Resolve common problems when exporting or sharing your CV 📄⚠️
When exporting a CV from Cinode, issues may appear in specific sections such as the Presentation, Highlighted projects, or Skills. These problems are usually related to content length, translations, or template limitations.
This article explains common issues per CV section, why they occur, and how to resolve them.
Before you start
CV exports are generated from your CV content and selected template.
Make sure:
Your CV is updated
The correct language is selected
All relevant profile content is translated
Presentation – common issues
Problem: Text is cut off or pushed to the next page
Why this happens
The Presentation section has a character limit to ensure clean layout, especially on the first page.
How to resolve
Shorten the text
Remove unnecessary line breaks
Focus on role, experience, and value
Indicators
Yellow highlight: content may not fit
Red triangle: too much content
Highlighted projects – common issues ⭐
Problem: Highlighted projects do not fit on the first page
Why this happens
Highlighted projects are designed for short summaries. Long descriptions can break the layout or move content to another page.
How to resolve
Keep descriptions short and sales-oriented
Focus on role, key responsibilities, and results
Move full descriptions to Projects and assignments
Projects and assignments – common issues
Problem: Assignments or skills are missing
Why this happens
Missing content is often caused by untranslated profile entries or excluded skills.
How to resolve
Ensure the assignment is translated into the CV language
Check that skills are not excluded from the CV
Update the CV after adding translations
Skills – common issues
Problem: Skills are missing or not shown
Why this happens
Skills may be excluded from the CV or hidden due to language differences.
How to resolve
Check that skills are included in the CV
Ensure skills are translated into the current CV language
Remember that the Skills section (with levels) is separate from Skills by category
Skills by category – common issues
Problem: Categories or skills do not appear
Why this happens
No translated entries exist for the CV language
No skills are selected in the category
How to resolve
Add translations in your profile
Select relevant skills in the category
Update the CV
Missing visibility toggle ⚠️
Problem: Visibility toggle is missing for a section or item
Why this happens
When multiple profile languages are enabled, visibility toggles appear only if at least one entry is translated into the current CV language.
Example
A role description exists only in English. When viewing a Swedish CV, the toggle does not appear.
How to resolve
Add the missing translation in your profile and update the CV.
Export format issues (PDF / Word)
Problem: Word export is not available
Why this happens
Some templates support PDF export only.
How to resolve
Export as PDF
Or create a new CV using a template that supports Word
Layout differences after export
Problem: Exported CV looks different from preview
Why this happens
Page breaks shift based on content length
Word handles fonts and spacing differently
How to resolve
Use Show preview before exporting
Adjust text length if content shifts
Use PDF for the most accurate layout
Changing templates does not solve the issue
Important to know
You cannot change the template of an existing CV.
How to resolve
Create a new CV and select the desired template.
Best practices to avoid export issues 💡
Keep the first page short and sellable
Use Highlighted projects for summaries only
