Hello

Hope somebody out there can help me, I've started to apply for jobs now and had an email back today from one employer who couldn't open my attachment and asked if i could attach it as a PDF or RFT format WTF !

Any advice on how to do this, had a quick look via google and tried on a couple of websites to convert from word to pdf and just keep getting error messages

So if any one can give me any advice please do

Thanks again

Paula

The RFT? do you mean RTF (rich text format), if so you can do that in either word or works by clicking on save as, type in the name and then in the box underneath that you can choose the type of file to save it as find RTF and click on save, should save in RTF format.

Or PDF convertor here: http://www.pdf995.com/

Thanks ur a star , don't know why they couldn't open it tho everyone else has managed

Hi Paula

You need some software to convert from word to pdf (i.e acrobat professional originally but there are others.

In Microsoft office Word (i assume this is what you have created it in) you can save file as and choose rtf from the drop down box. You may lose some formatting so you will need to check it.

If you get really stuck PM me and i will send you my email address. You can then send me the document, I will convert it to pdf and send it back to you.

Maybe they just didn't want to because word documents can be infected with viruses.

They may have the wrong programme. Sometimes if you have say word and they have works it won't convert it for some reason

Thanks alison have re sent in the RFT format so maybe they will recieve it now .

RTF

RTF is the way to go because:

a) it's a universal format, not a Microsoft one, and
b) because it can't contain macro viruses.

From within Word, File --> Save As.. --> Rich Text Format (RTF)

if you still need it in PDF you can use the free PDF creator program from here :-
