Resume Creator

This python script creates PDF resumes using variables from a YAML file. You can give it a YAML file to use, or a directory if you want to process multiple YAML files one after another. If no file name, or directory was passed, it will look for vars.yaml as its input YAML file by default.

Install requirements
