Remember: PDF is a destination language, not really meant for editing
and certainyl not an intermediate format.  Like postscript (which it is
based on) it is optimized for just one purpose and throws away a lot of
meta information it doesn't need.

Don't throw away your original resume file.  And converting someone
else's resume to word just isn't likely to be an option automatically.
