Yeah - that upload function is pretty sucky. 
What I do is fill out their online resume-builder thing. 
 
Consider your issue with the PDF's in another thread in which, like  
everyone, suggested that you have them fill in a form instead of xmitting  
via PDF. 
Formatting, extracting and indexing randomly formatted data from a couple of  
million different people's idea of a "resume" is a dead-end. 
 
If you want to get into the system well, ya gotta fill out the forms. 
God help you with this - because it takes DAYS to get it all in there just  
right... if not weeks or months. 
Same thing with CareerBuilder and the rest.
