Resume PDF Generator

This project provides a script to generate a PDF resume using Python and the ReportLab library. It allows for customizable fonts, colors, layouts, and sections. You can easily integrate your own data, fonts, and images to create a professional-looking PDF resume.

Features

• Customizable Data Source:
  Resume data is stored in a Python dictionary (RESUME_DATA) that you can edit to include your personal information, education history, work experience, projects, and more.

• Theming and Branding:
  Change fonts, colors, and layout by modifying the styles defined in the code. By default, it uses custom fonts (Roboto and Poppins) and a highlight color, but you can register other fonts and adjust the formatting as desired.

• Sections Included:

• Header (name, contact info, GitHub and LinkedIn links with icons)

• Education (institutions, degrees, dates, and descriptions)

• Professional Experience (companies, roles, periods, and bullet-pointed responsibilities)

• Additional Projects & Volunteering (community and personal projects)

• Certifications, Skills & Interests

• Clickable Links:
  GitHub and LinkedIn URLs are clickable inside the PDF, directing readers to your profiles.

• Assets Directory:
  The script expects fonts and image assets (like icons) inside an assets directory. Adjust the code or directory structure as needed.

Requirements

Python 3.6+

ReportLab library:

• Install via pip install reportlab

Fonts and Icons:

• Make sure to have the required font files (e.g., Roboto-Regular.ttf, Poppins-Regular.ttf) and icon images (github.png, linkedin.png) placed in the assets directory.
• Update the script if your fonts or icon filenames differ.

   git clone https://github.com/OrlandoFon/Resume-Creator-With-Python.git
   cd Resume-Creator-With-Python
   

2. Install Dependencies:

   pip install reportlab
   

3. Customize Data and Styles:

• Open the Python file and update RESUME_DATA with your personal details.
• Adjust fonts and colors in the STYLE CREATION section if needed.
• Ensure your assets folder has the font files and icons.

4. Generate the PDF:

   python resume_generator.py
   

Customization Tips

• Fonts:

• To use your own fonts, place .ttf files in assets and register them by calling:

  pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('YourFontName', os.path.join(ASSETS_DIR, 'YourFontFile.ttf')))
  

• Then, update the font variables (e.g., NAME_FONT, NORMAL_TEXT_FONT) to your chosen font names.

• Colors:

• Change HIGHLIGHT_COLOR or TEXT_COLOR to match your branding or personal preference:

  HIGHLIGHT_COLOR = colors.HexColor('#123456')
  TEXT_COLOR = colors.black     
  

• Layout and Sections:

• Modify the section functions (add_header, add_education_section, etc.) if you need a different layout or want to add/remove sections.
