Ten ways to avoid conversion problems on Symplicity

  1. Try to use a common font when typing your documents.  Examples of common fonts are Arial, Garamond, and Times New Roman.
  2. Indents should be preset.  Do not use the spacebar or multiple tabs for spacing. 
  3. Use Microsoft Word Version 5.0 or higher for the best results.
  4. Do not encrypt files or use password protection, locks, macros, frames, or tables. 
  5. Do not force your margins.  A minimum margin of three-quarters of an inch is recommended. 
  6. Do not use page breaks. 
  7. Do not use headers or footers. 
  8. Avoid extremely long files names.  For instance a document named My_Cover_Letter_For_Pricewaterhousecoopers_For_Fall_2010.doc should not be used. 
  9. Your resume should be limited to one page.  If your resume is longer than one page, it must not exceed the maximum file upload size of 200KB (200,000 bytes.)
  10. If your PDF file does not convert properly, upload it in the original file format (e.g. MS Word) and let the system complete the conversion.
