How can I create a PDF file resume? Do I have to use Microsoft Office?

No, you shouldn't need to use MS Office.  Provided you have a wordprocessor of some kind - even Wordpad (free with Windows) so that you can format the way you want your document to look, then save it as a Rich Text Format file, go to http://createpdf.adobe.com/ (you will need to sign up - but it's free) and send them your file to convert.\n\nFor a resume, this is the best way.  If you have lots of documents to convert, then there are free and paid softwares you can get.  A Google search is the best way to find them.

A few years ago, I did a comparison test between Office, OpenOffice 1.1.x, and 602PC Suite 4.x.  I'm pretty demanding in terms of formatting and what not.  I take time to make a document look nice so that requires alot of tricks (setting margins, setting blank lines to certain sizes, etc) but they are not overly complicated.\n\nI really wanted to like the alternatives but I was a bit disappointed that OpenOffice and 602PC Suite could open MS Office documents but their formatting was a bit off.  Some items were too wide or sizes were just not the same so I kept using Office.  I see that OpenOffice released version 2.0 so I may take a look at it again.\n\nAs a student, using OpenOffice would work because there's less of a need to share files to others.  You tend to create documents for your own assignments.  In the workplace, however, the gold standard is still MS Office.  If your report is sent to a manager or a resume is sent to a recruiter and the formatting is all funked up, that's gonna be one ding against you.

Try to download 'CUTEPDF', it's a free software where you can create PDF.\n\nThat software acts like your virtual printer. Example, when you type on MS.WORD, Notepad, Wordpad, watever it is that can be printed, choose to print with your virtual printer.\n\nThe file that you asked to be printed is now in PDF format!\n\nDon't like the software? Go www.softpedia.com and find under PDF creator section to choose your favorite type.

Saving them as .pdf files is both work-intensive and probably counter-productive. I say counter-productive because trying to find a particular email after you have converted it to .pdf is going to be very difficult.\n\nWhat email program are we talking about here?\n\nI'm assuming you are using Outlook. There is an export feature in it (and many other have a similar one). You click on "File" then "Import and Export" then go through the wizard to export the files to a ".pst" file.

Adobe Acrobat is the best way to create pdf from MS Word document, but I am not sure it is able to convert TO MS Word document format. It just isn’t its purpose. \nAdobe Photoshop is just great graphic editor and can in advantage generate documents in portable document format. But it isn’t word processor at all. Does one really think, Photoshop is the best way to create doc-files? And it is even good word processor, ‘so can keep spaces between line… You can, however, to import pdf in Photoshop and create some graphic format – psd, png, eps, even jpeg…\nI can suggest two options:\n- "Pdf to Doc converter": see (on download) it on  http://www.solidpdf.com/pdf/_to_doc_converter/37\n- "ePrint File Converter Software" - it support 150 document and image formats and you can download it from - http://www.eprintdriver.com/ePrintFileConverter.html\n\nOne more important thing – both of this applications are not free. You can, however, to download trail version. \nI hope at least tool will be useful for you.

PDF files do not have the same kinds of information needed to create an MS-Word file. You could run the images through an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program, which can recognize letters in images and put them into an editable file. The source below has a program that's free to try that does this.

Use Microsoft Word.  You can easily build a resume with its templates.\n\nBelow are some sample resumes for your reference:\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.\n2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.  Use action verbs.\n4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.\n4. There is no one “correct” format.  It depends on your profession and personal style.\n5. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nYou can post your resume at:\nhttp://www.monster.com\nhttp://www.careerbuilder.com\nhttp://hotjobs.yahoo.com\n\nOther good references are:\nhttp://www.vault.com\nhttp://www.wetfeet.com\n\nI would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.
