Damned right you are. Of course they don't change my design. They just put *their* company logo on each page ;-)

I did that years ago where my base resume document has been odt/docx. Then I did some XPATH madness things
to translate into ASCIIDOC and from there to DOCBOOK 4 and then via dblatex to xelatex to (beautifull) PDF.
ASCIIDOCTOR and PANDOC did not exist at that time.

Hmm, good idea. Kind of "write protected" word document. However, the point is that they expect a "unprotected" Word document (see above).
Perhaps I should do it this way:
Just expose a public service that renders my resume into a PDF. By default it renders my style. However, a interested recruiter an upload images and
(CSS) styles for customization. Voila. Who wants to receive a Word document anyway?

How about thinking outside the box.
Why would a recruiter make such requests? There's no reason for them to
change your design, right? So the only reason could be to get at your
raw data to input them into some system. They just don't have a simple
way to communicate that. (For anything else I'm assuming unreasonable
until proven innocent for now.)
But if what they really need is raw data, asciidoc should be even
better. So… what if the docx/odt contained your plain asciidoc. And what
if this asciidoc was hidden behind pictures of the pdf/html. That way
the docx/odt would look as you intended, but if someone copy-pastes its
content, there's no formatting to screw something up. Win-win.
So, I propose:
1. generate html/pdf from asciidoc via pandoc
2. turn each page of html/pdf into an image via unknown means
3. generate docx/odt from asciidoc plus images via pandoc plus a filter
Why use a crowbar on pandoc if pandoc can be your crowbar ;)
