Erm... may I suggest redoing your Resume in LaTeX? You can use the pdflatex utility that comes with tetex to directly generate PDF.
That's what I have been doing. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get LaTeX to stop producing a huge left margin.
Aah! That bugs. Here's what you do in the _preamble_:
% Decrease left margin by 1/2" \addtolength{\hoffset}{-0.5in}
%Increase text width by 1" so that the tight margin is also decreased by 1/2" \addtolength{\textwidth}{1in}
There's a complete description of various dimensions that affect page layout on Page 77 of _The_Not_So_Short_Introduction_to_LaTeX2e_ http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/lshort/lshort.pdf
BTW, I'd strongly recommend this Introduction to anyone interested in trying out LaTeX.
HTH.
