- Package
Drag résumé, cover letter and certificates together and choose Merge; Compress if the portal is strict.
- Accept

Check what you’re sending
A PDF made from a template can still list someone else as the author, or carry tracked changes. Remove hidden data takes a second and avoids awkward questions.
Keep your documents private
Job applications involve passports, visas, certificates and references. Sheaf works on your Mac, so none of it is uploaded to a PDF website along the way.
Questions
Should I send my résumé as PDF or Word?
PDF, unless the employer asks for Word: it looks the same on every device.
How do I combine my résumé and cover letter into one PDF on a Mac?
Select both, drag, pause and choose Merge.
How do I get my résumé PDF under 2 MB?
Compress it; text-only résumés are usually tiny already. Photos and scanned certificates are what make files big.
