# 3. CV Import

> Import multiple PDF CVs from a ZIP file and let Lope create candidate profiles automatically.

Import multiple candidates from a ZIP file containing PDF CVs. Each PDF becomes one candidate. Lope parses the CV content and extracts name, skills, experience, and education.

## Supported format

* **File type:** `.zip` (containing PDF files only)
* **Size limits:** 100 MB for the ZIP, 10 MB per PDF
* **Max files:** 1000 PDFs per ZIP

## How to import from CVs

1. Put all PDF CVs in a single ZIP file
2. Go to the candidates view
3. Click **Import** in the toolbar
4. Select **Import CVs (.zip)**
5. Choose your ZIP file
6. Wait for the import to complete

## What happens

* Each PDF is uploaded to Lope storage
* A candidate is created for each PDF
* CV content is parsed and saved to `cv_json` (name, skills, experience, education)
* Candidates are created at the workspace level (no client or job by default)

## Notes

* Only PDF files are processed; other file types in the ZIP are skipped
* macOS metadata files (`__MACOSX`, `._*`) are ignored
* Invalid or corrupted PDFs are skipped and counted in the "failed" total
