Why is it that when I download a resume and open in Pages, it doesn't pull the whole resume, but if I open with preview, I can see the whole resume

I downloaded my resume through email. When I saved it to my Mac air and open in pages, you can't see the whole resume. But if I open with preview, I can see the resume. I am afraid that companies are not getting my full resume.


MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

If this is a PDF résumé, then you cannot open it in Pages, and if you drop it on a blank Pages document, only the first page is shown. No workaround because Pages is not a PDF viewer.


Preview, being a PDF viewer is the right tool for that purpose. Pages can however, open, translate, and display your résumé if it is a Word document, though that translation may not be accurate depending on the content of the Word document.
