I'm going to take a stab and say she's a recruiter for a third party staffing company.

They REQUIRE word docs so that they can copy and paste or edit your resume on their template.

Pro tip: take the requirements that they send you and Google search for it. Apply directly with the company and cut them out.

Unless you open the pdf in gimp or something (and it's not just a photo, which would be equally bad in a word document) you should be able to copy from a PDF too.

Yeah, I don't know how to say this nicely, but my experience so far is that HR people are not* exactly the sharpest knives in the kitchen...

It's not even that (and I think you mean are not).

It's because they are dealing with literally hundreds of resumes. They want to be lazy and just slap on their logo and be done.

PDFs just make this much harder than they want to put in.
