I've been a contractor in the UK for a long time...

I've tried switching to using a PDF a couple of times, but I've had pushback from Recruiters/Agents each time, and have had to revert to .docx

Maybe that's just here.

This is because they want to easily remove some personal details you may have put on the CV, like your email, mobile number etc. before they send it over to the company and they usually dont have a app that can edit PDFs.

Not having the ability to edit PDFs is a red flag...
