How do I create a PDF of a resume created with a template on a mac and insure it looks the same on PC?

I've got 6 hours into creating resume's on my Mac using various templates. The finished product says it's one page when I open it on my Mac. When it's opened on a PC it's two pages and the formatting is off. Do I need to buy an upgraded version of PDF Reader? Like PDF reader/writer?

A PDF will look the same everywhere, if you use proper software to create and view it. That's the entire point of the format.

How are you creating the file, and where are you viewing it?

A PDF file, properly created, looks the same on any OS. Problems can arise, however, when the PDF is badly formatted, does not embed the fonts etc.

This is not an answer to the questions you where asked. If you need help, narrowing your problem implies giving some more information.
