questions related to jobs site

Post by uttam »

Hello guys

I am developing a jobs site for my client. The problem I am facing is, When a user tries to view his uploaded resume (usually word format) it shows up with special characters. We actually have two options view and download. Download is working fine but not view. I want the resume uploaded to be able to viewed in html format. Please help me. This issue is very urgent. I need to get this done. Thanks in advance

Word format doesn't parse easily... if at all. If you're on a Windows server AND have Office AND Acrobat installed you MAY be able to generate a PDF and display it that way. The HTML that Word produces is craptastic, so don't even bother going that route.

You might also be able to get an account with a conversion service like Zamzar - your call.

In short: Only offer download for Word documents.
