Resume

This project is a Typst-based resume, based on an early version of imprecv. It uses a Meson build system and custom post-processing to overcome Typst's current limitations regarding native PDF attachment linking.

Requirements

The following CLI tools are required to build the project (tested versions in parentheses):

• Typst (>= 0.14.2): The core typesetting engine.
• Meson (>= 1.11.1): The build configuration system.
• Ninja (>= 1.13.2): The backend build executor.
• qpdf (>= 12.3.2): Used for PDF structural transformations.
• jq (>= 1.8.1): Used for JSON-based PDF link patching.

Fonts

The following font families must be installed for correct rendering:

• Inter: Used for the main body.
• IBM Plex Serif: Used for headings.
• IBM Plex Mono: Used for the footer/end note.

Building

To generate the resume artifacts, use the following commands:

# Initialize the build directory
meson setup build

# Optional: Configure build options (e.g., PDF standard, YAML embedding)
# Use 'meson configure build' to see all current settings
meson configure build -Dpdf_standard=2.0 -Dembed_yml=true

# Compile all targets (PDF + HTML)
meson compile -C build

The final outputs will be located at:

• build/resume.pdf (Patched PDF with optional attachment)
• build/resume.html (Experimental HTML version)

Build Options

• pdf_standard: The PDF standard to enforce conformance with (e.g., 1.7, a-2b, ua-1). Default is none.
• embed_yml: Boolean. If true (default), embeds the resume.yml source file into the PDF and enables the clickable attachment link in the footer. If false, generates a standard PDF and omits the attachment logic.

Build Process & Targets

The build system performs the following steps:

1. typst_compile: Compiles resume.typ into a PDF. If embed_yml is enabled, it produces an intermediate resume_raw.pdf with the embedded file.
2. patch_pdf_links: (Only if embed_yml=true) Post-processes the PDF using qpdf and jq to convert the attach:resume.yaml placeholder link into a native PDF Go-To-Embedded action.
3. resume_html: Generates an experimental HTML version of the resume using Typst's development features.

Why Patching?

Typst currently lacks native support for links that trigger the opening of embedded attachments (see Typst Issue #6200). This project circumvents that by using a custom protocol (attach:) which is then transformed into a native PDF Go-To-Embedded action during the build phase.

Continuous Integration

This project includes a GitHub Action (.github/workflows/build.yml) that automatically:

1. Installs all required dependencies and the latest Typst compiler.
2. Builds the PDF and HTML versions of the resume.
3. Uploads the results as artifacts, renamed to include the current date.
