I did my CV in LaTeX once.

First recruiter: "we need a docx file". Argh!

This would be for my website, most vanity.

Frankly, every job I've applied for at this point just has me re-entering everything- even my internal system!

Maybe for the best - that recruiter was probably going to edit your CV and add a load of bullshit.
Probably, but that would have been miserable for them, as I lazily ran the PDF though a PDF to docx converter online and that presumably created a Word file completely full of absolutely-positioned text boxes.
