And then you have the fun and games of trying to forward the PDFs from
the people that made the first cut to HR and the people who need to schedule
interviews and so on.  I suppose they could print them out and send them

but what company *wants* to work that way?

Or to phrase it differently - how tightly sandboxed can Ziff Davis make
the systems their writers receive files and e-mail on before it puts a crimp
in the business process? How many hoops would you personally be willing to
jump through to deal with a heavily sandboxed PDF from an outside source for
a juicy story?

Now imagine doing that for the several hundred resumes a day that a large
company can get...
