Canva documents accessible PDF features, including text semantics, reading-order controls and tagged export. A blanket claim that Canva cannot produce structured text is inaccurate. The useful question is whether your particular design and exported file preserve the information the employer needs.
Use the available accessibility controls
Canva’s help explains checking design accessibility, setting text semantics and arranging reading order. Its PDF export guidance describes Digital PDF output with accessibility tags and notes that flattening removes those tags. Follow the options available in your design and current interface.
Inspect the final file
Check whether essential words can be selected, copied and read in a sensible order. Verify that headings, dates and role descriptions remain associated. Accessibility tagging is useful but does not certify correct parsing in every recruiting system.
Simplify an observed problem
If columns, decorative elements or positioned text make the extracted result confusing, compare a simpler design. Preserve the same accurate content while testing. Review the actual application’s populated fields before submitting.
