How to Export Your LinkedIn Profile to PDF for Aycabtu

LinkedIn is a powerful platform for showcasing your professional experience, but sometimes you need your profile information in a different format. One common need is to export your LinkedIn profile as a PDF document. This can be useful for sharing offline, keeping a personal record, or uploading your experience to tools like Aycabtu, our AI resume builder.

Aycabtu allows you to upload documents like your current resume or even a PDF export of your LinkedIn profile to help generate a tailored, ATS-friendly resume based on a specific job description.

Time-saving tip: Exporting your LinkedIn profile takes less than 2 minutes and saves you hours of manually transferring your work history to our platform.

Steps to Export Your LinkedIn Profile:

1. Log in to LinkedIn

Visit linkedin.com and log in to your account using your email and password.

Start by signing in to your LinkedIn account

2. Navigate to Your Profile

Click on your profile picture or the "Me" icon in the top navigation bar, then select "View Profile" from the dropdown menu.

3. Find the "Resources" Button

On your profile page, locate the "Resources" button, which is usually found just below your profile header section (near your name and headline).

Look for the 'Resources' button in your profile header

4. Select "Save to PDF"

5. Download the PDF

Your browser will automatically start downloading the PDF file. The file name will typically be something like Profile.pdf. Check your browser's download folder to find it.

What's Included in the LinkedIn PDF?

The PDF generated by LinkedIn includes most of the core sections of your profile:

• Your headline and summary

• Work experience with descriptions

• Education details and dates

• Skills listing your expertise

• Recommendations (received and given)

• Accomplishments including:

  • Publications
  • Patents
  • Courses
  • Projects
  • Honors & awards
  • Test scores
  • Languages

It generally doesn't include your profile photo, connections, or activity feed. The formatting is basic but provides a comprehensive text-based overview of your career history. This is enough information for Aycabtu to start with.

You can add a photo later if you want to include it in your resume. Aycabtu will also allow you to add a custom header and footer to your resume, so you can personalize it further.

If you also have a resume or personality tests, you can upload that as well. Aycabtu will intelligently combine the information from both documents to create a more tailored resume.
