I'm waiting for my mum to let me know what she thinks of my CV (she does this sort of thing for a living, so I might as well get the professional opinion :D), so in the meantime, I will shake the Magic LJ Eight-Ball:

the reasons PDF might actually 'get you in trouble' is that maney places have automated ways o deal with a Word resume, lifting content out to insert it in a DB, for example, and even if it's possible to CP from your PDF the different format will be enough to annoy them (sadly). I would say send Word, mention you have a PDF version for easier viewing or printing, AND, especially (this is my way of sticking it to MS and trying to increase format-awareness when I job-hunt) attach a RTF or TXT version of it as well to your email.

I'd not thought of that, actually--though it did occur to me that people might change the font type or size for printing off, and thus prefer word. I shall follow your recommendations!
