I think keeping your resume in a textual format like Markdown is a really smart idea. I've been doing it for about two years now.

I converted my resume to markdown a few weeks ago from Word; it was like a breath of fresh air. Something about changing the format allowed to realize how much fat I could cut out of my resume as well.

I converted my resume to markdown earlier this year, but I've just been using OS X's Print To PDF feature for conversion from HTML to PDF. How does the quality from Pandoc compare?

Pandoc's PDF quality is astounding if you're willing to accept that it goes through a LaTeX intermediary. I recently fought with this while building Docverter[1], my online document conversion service. I ended up using an HTML intermediary so users could style with CSS. If you want to see what Docverter's quality looks like, you can check out the PDF of my resume here: http://bugsplat.info/resume.pdf
