I agree here, I save my CV in pdf, for the simply reason it looks fine in openoffice, and looks the same in PDF, exporting to word, can have any number of effects on the layout (e,g fonts) that will not give a potential employer a good impression esp with a CV, I would also guess that this is not really an issue if the document is from a trusted source, Isn't part the reason things are in pdf, (esp science documents) is that they are writtne using latex, which seems to be a standard, then converted to pdf from there. Good point raised here, read out side the browser, so its not an issue, Paul Aaron Trevena wrote: > On 04/01/07, Tom Potts <tompotts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/01/04/adobe_scripting_flaw/ >> > > PDF is an open and well documented standard - unlike word or even > openoffice files - a PDF will look the same in any reader, whatever > the software used to create it. > > I'd much sooner have a PDF than a word doc, and so all the documents I > send are PDF. > > In fact I'm seeing very few word documents at all, the last set of > specifications I received were all PDF, the invoices I receive are PDF > and the documents I download (academic papers, white papers, > presentations from conferences) are PDF. > > Given I download documents and read them outside of the browser, I > won't find this a problem. > > A. > > > > > -- DCLUG Meeting date Thursday 11th January 2007 - PRFC from 7:00 http://www.zleap.net http://www.openoffice.org http://www.linux.org -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version 3.1 GIT d S: a C+++ UL++++ P+ L++ W++ N+ W--- O!
