I meant format as in the layout/font etc, not the file format. In order 
to change that it's easier to start with Word rather than a PDF. The 
same way some companies want you to fill in all your details on a 
website rather than post a CV, it just makes it easier for them to 
process all the applications when all the answers are the same boxes.
