I was at an interview recently and was disgusted to see my CV in the hands of the interviewers with the formatting totally messed up and the logo of the recruiters all over it. They had obviously cut and pasted into a word document even though I wouldn't give them this originally.

Perhaps a PDF with an embedded image per page is the way forward.
Problem with doing that is recruiters are lazy and you are giving them an extra step to go through. They probably like to just have a folder full of .docs for each posting.

A few times I've sent applications in PDF format just to be auto rejected.
