There's a big difference between manually searching a PDF and automating it, as many recruiters and HR departments do. If someone specifies the required file types, then that is what you must supply. In my job searches, over the years, I have seen Word, RTF, plain text, Lotus Word Pro and Word Perfect. I don't ever recall seeing PDF. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
