Yeah, the whole pdf thing would be a giveaway, besides most if not all businesses are required to buy the full version of the pdf software which includes editing features. plus there would still be a page number inconsistency pdf files hate blank pages. On another note I've had an applicant send me a text document application before and they had a sentence at the bottom that was size one white text that said 'if you don't hire me I'm going to torch your store.' (I accidentally hit select all instead of copy and the line showed up as a blue line so I sized it up to thirteen.) surprisingly they didn't get hired, corporate wasn't impressed by that, shame to if they hadn't done that they would've been hired.
Businesses don’t buy full versions of pdf software unless they absolutely have to and then they do it for as few people as possible. In a couple decades of working for corporations in IT I have never seen a software that scanned and cataloged resumes that were submitted. Maybe Monster.com does it but other than that it’s a myth.
Odd move. Software to create, read, and markup PDFs is generally available for free. The pay stuff is usually to edit or reverse distill it. Most people don’t need that functionality.
We need editing functions for meeting notes, and various paperwork, not sure why haven't actually asked anybody why, don't care personally, if they want to waste money on stuff like that, who am I to stop them?
