The PDF format is a well recognized format in the business world. The Adobe ACROBAT READER used to read PDF files is a FREE application for PCs and Macs at www.adobe.com. Version 11 is the latest version.
Microsoft Word is NOT a free application. Usage requires a license. Many firms only have Microsoft Word on just a few computers because of the licensing expense. The PDF format has the ability to exist independently from the hardware, software and operating system (OS) used to create or view the PDF document.
If you want your resume read, use the PDF format and no other format for your resume.
