save my resume in pdf and then upload into an online application

Huh, no tablet maker has ever claimed that...

Yes, iOs does have some limitations, but it is far from being a "a toy".

Safari only accesses content from the Photos app for uploading. Some alternatives to look into:

• iUploader. There is a free version and a paid version (don't recall the cost). works reasonably well, but for continued use across a number of online sources, you will need the paid version
• iCab Mobile. This is an alternate web browser (and a pretty good one at that). It is not free, but I seem to remember the cost being fairly reasonable ($3.99 USD; Not sure, may be less; I've been using it for quite some time). Includes a plethora of settings, but for the purposes of uploading files the two you would be most interested in are the Browser ID settings (allows to to set the ID to a non mobile browser) and the download space (contains downloaded files within the app itself and allows for uploading to a site assuming the upload feature doesn't use Windows services or flash; should work on most sites. Has for me).
• See if the specific site has its own app (not typical, but this is the case for some employment sites such as Dice or Monster).

If you do not find a post to be helpful, then do not select one of the options.

As for the suggestion I made, it will depend on the specific site and how the document upload field is created and managed. A site using current html standards will work fine wth either of the two apps suggested. I use iCab Mobile on a very regular basis for just that type of activity.

If the laptop serves your needs, or work habits, better, then by all mean use it.

FYI,

Any tablet, EVEN AN iPAD, is not a full laptop computer replacement, at least for the foreseeable future.

If you need to perform very specific tasks, a laptop or desktop computer with a full, robust computer OS is still needed.

No tablet maker, including Apple, ever has claimed, currently, that their tablet computing device are replacements for their higher end computer systems.

If you need more functionality than an iPad can provide, you can supplement this with an already owned conputer OR sell your iPad and purchase something like the MacBook Air which has the same instant on, Flash storage as an iPad, but has the advantage of a slightly larger screen, an already built-in full size keyboard, trackpad, a full computing OS and ports for easily connecting other peripheral devices.

There is much to agree with on both sides of this argument. Yes it's just a tablet and not a full blown PC but at the same time, how pathetic it is if a website asks you to upload a document and all the iPad will do is look in the pictures folder? This is so frustrating that's it's actually quite annoying!

So picture the scene, you've got a really important document or CV to upload to a generic website and all the iPad (or iPhone) can do is look straight at your photo's. GREAT, that'll really help me out, ...erm NO!!

As a user we can't change the website and we can't certainly change the OS on the tablet so where does that leave you? That's right, going on a wild goose chase looking for a free app that will change your document into a picture, just so you can upload it. It's just not productive at all. And before you say get Dropbox or Onedrive etc, I already have them. The website your trying to upload to can't get past the 'straight to pictures' problem i mentioned above. Infinite loop ensues...

To be honest, if your iPad or iPhone has Apple Pages on it, why doesn't the device allow you to choose from that as well? That would put an end to this lack of productivity and eventual apple device annoyance. So going back to your original complaint, I agree, I find my iPad to be more of a toy than a work station, and I will only change my mind when Pages is better integrated to be of actual use in Safari and other essential apps.

Have you found a way to upload your pdf resume to online apps on your Ipad? I am having the same problem and I tried making my resume an image to save into my photo file but I am not tech savvy enough for that, the InDesign file was not compatable with my Ipad.

Has anyone been sucessul yet? I have been trying to upload my cv to www.grab-talent.com and my iphone will only allow photos or videos. This is 2016 so why is Apple stopping this function? I see on other threads people are having the same issue with sites like monster also. Very frustrating!

grab-talent.com recognizes iCloud Drive as a source on an iPad.

as does monster.ca, so I'll assume monster.com does as well.

I have recently been trying to apply for several different jobs on several different sites only to find that I can't do so using my Mac Book Pro. I end up going to the public library to use a windows machine to successfully finish the application. I find this extremely irritating and maddeningly crazy! If I drop left my Windows machines behind 7 years ago and now I have to go borrow one to do such an important things as apply form a job! Productivity is an APPLE problem not just an iPad Problem!!!

Can you elaborate on "find that I can"t do so... "

There could be a number of reasons for this and to be helpful to you and the community, knowing what the issue would be needed.

My first guess is more of a browser issue than an OS issue.

download the app called downloader in the apps store and save your resume in your documents and save it into your iCloud. then open the webpage in the downloader app and you should be good. I discovered it today just now and wanted to share with you guys cuz I myself been trying for months and finally now know how it's done. free app.

save into your iCloud then you can do it on safari
