Print as PDF, then screenshot the opened PDF, and OCR it back into word before printing to PDF one last time.
You forgot printing it on paper and scanning it back to pdf
Unfortunately still can't stop someone from importing the PDF into Word anyway 🫠
We don't interact with those people
I had a rule about companies I applied to. I sent them my resume as a PDF and Word 2003 document. If they still couldn’t read it, I didn’t want to work there anymore.
If you send your resume in word format and not pdf or even image, I did not open it at all.
I've had recruiters reject anything that isn't in word format.
That's because they can easily edit it or change it before sending it out
That's why pdf, it has annotation feature while being not editable.
PDFs are absolutely editable, but usually you need paid application for that. Thanks to some dumbassery in my previous job, I had to use the paid version of Adobe because I regularly had to edit PDFs. There are some security options that can make PDFs more challenging to edit, even with the paid tools, but I've always found ways around those too, usually by simply using "Print to PDF", then editing the output file.
