Problem
Bullet points in PDF resumes are concatenated into single lines, and date hyphens (e.g.,
06/2022 - Present) are stripped to06/2022 Present.Solution
Bug Fixes:
replace(/ • /g, '\n• ')to ensure each bullet point starts on its own linesplit('- ').join('')with targetedreplace(/(\w)- \n(\w)/g, '$1$2')that only removes hyphens at actual line breaks (word continuation), preserving content hyphensBefore & After
