Hey people.
I want to make a CV.

I want it to be avaliable on both Acrobat Reader and Microsoft word.
Which program would be best to use to make a my CV?
Thanks

Well Microsoft Word for starters

For doing PDF's there's Acrobat Writer - about 200 squid though. JAWS I think is a cheaper option, they might even have a free older version now. Probably loads more.

have a look at www.downloads.com for free pdf convertors... there is quite a few of them - some more shitty than others ( :wink ) not sure if the free ones are good with converting graphics though...

www.pdf995.com - free for making PDFs if you put up with the adverts or only $9.95 to get rid of them. It works fine for me!

edit: it shows an advert to you, it doesn't put the advert on your PDF!

thanks guys!

dixon · 25-07-2003, 08:26

you are quite wrong sir, so very wrong

get this plugin and you can publish layers as pages

dorian · 28-07-2003, 12:48

but it's a freeking plugin - 49$ just because Adobe can't get their arse together?!

tomson · 28-07-2003, 12:56

Mr Fred · 28-07-2003, 13:08

I've been using InDesign recently, not had any problems at all, pretty good if you ask me. I think I'll be sticking with it for anything I'm doing myself... and so much cheeper than that other Beast!

Mr Fred · 28-07-2003, 15:25

dixon · 28-07-2003, 18:33
