PDF is great but the those in the industry (HR people spring to mind) who should embrace it don't seem to. Recently, I sent a few resumes out in pdf format generated via pdftex (my resume has a nice look to it) and was asked 2/3 of the time to resend as a Word document! I'd rather send plain text than a Word document (it would be great if everyone used TeX :-)
