Profile & PDF export

A Common App-style PDF of your whole profile, generated server-side as a real downloadable file.

Profile fields

The profile page holds the Common App fields onboarding deliberately skips: legal name, preferred name, phone, address, citizenship, secondary school, GPA and scale, weighting, class rank and size, and test type and score. A completeness meter shows which are still blank.

Your test score mirrors automatically from the testing tracker, so you never maintain it twice.

What the PDF contains

Laid out to mirror the Common App application preview:

1. Profile: legal name, contact, address, citizenship
2. Education: school, graduation year, GPA, class rank, intended major
3. Testing: your headline score
4. Activities: up to 10, sorted by annual hours, with role, organisation, grades, level, time commitment and description
5. Honors & awards: up to 5
6. College list: optional
7. Recommenders: optional
8. Writing: optional, and off by default

Multi-page with automatic pagination, page numbers and a generation date in the footer.

Options

Three toggles before you export: college list, recommenders and essay drafts.

Who can export whom

Authorization runs through a single shared rule, so the export route, the counselor view and the contributor view can never disagree about who may see what.

Technical notes

• Generated with pdf-lib using only the 14 standard PDF fonts, nothing to embed or fetch.
• Text is sanitised to WinAnsi: smart quotes, em dashes and ellipses are normalised, because the standard-font encoding cannot render them.
• Greedy line wrapping with a hard split for any single word longer than the measure.
• Served with Cache-Control: private, no-store.

What it's for

Hand it to a recommender as a brag sheet, attach it to a summer program application that asks for a résumé, or bring it to a counselor meeting. It is also what the recommender email attaches automatically.
