I'd like to have an interactive Resume in PDF. 
I made a minimalistic resume using MS Word, which gives me the possibility to expand/collapse titles and paragraphs. 

this result is good enough for me, but it's quite unprofessional send it as a Word file, I need ot converted to PDF. But PDF doesn't keep the function at all. 
i've tried animate, Indesign... Please someone help me as i need to apply for a new job!! 🙏

 

i made a 10 sec video showing... 


 

thank you in advance

PDF files don't really have this option, unless they were created using a different application than Acrobat, called LiveCycle Designer (or AEM Forms Designer). You can show/hide elements on the page, but when they are hidden the rest of the page doesn't "re-flow" automatically and you end up with a large white space on the page where that element is located, which is probably not what you wanted. To make it work in a regular PDF is quite complicated and requires that the entire contents of the file is composed out of form fields. This will allow you to move them around using a custom-made script, so that the page contents "re-flows" based on the user's selections.
