Some time ago I saw somewhere (a post, a webpage, I do not remember)
that someone used Emacs to write his CV. He used something to convert
the buffer to a PDF-file and previewed it in Emacs.
I was now myself thinking about writing my CV (and proberly other
things) with Emacs, but I can not find the post or webpage where this
was described. Does anyone have an idea where I can find this
description?

You could consider using org-mode which supports export to html and
latex/pdf.

Doc-view(-mode) allows the latter, AUCTeX makes TeXing more comfortable.

There are many possible solutions, depending on what outcome you want
and what things your familiar/comfortable with using. Emacs has support
for working in LaTex, Texinfo, XML/Docbook, HTML, SGML, etc. There are
also many useful modes that can take basic ascii or various 'mark down'
type formatting as input to produce various outputs. For example, muse
(wiki like mark down), org mode, bhl mode etc, that can export data in
various formats including HTML, PDF, PS, LatEx, info etc.
I have done a lot of text processing type work with emacs using Auctex
and various LaTeX modes. The comprehensive tex archive network (CTAN)
has lots of latex packages/modes/styles for doing many different types
of documents, including writing a CV. I personally find LatEx and auctex
mode a very powerful text processing framework that allows me to produce
output in various different formats and would recommend using it.

In addition to what Richard, Peter and Tim wrote, I draw your attention to
muse-mode, also allowing export of a buffer to pdf (through LaTeX or
conTeXt) and html/xhtml, and other formats.
Your choice is big indeed!

Right? Um, CTAN is a bit overwhelming. Early on, I discovered CurVe
there. It worked for me until it didn't. I think CurVe was a nice
format for a CV that isn't very extensive. But when I recently rewrote
mine, I was attempting to put my twenty-six-year career in perspective
on _two_ pages. I stumbled on Currvita and it worked like a charm. I'm
not very imaginative when it comes to making lists about myself and this
CTAN package was one of the easiest methods I have ever used for
building my resume.
With TeXLive 2008 (or 2007?) installed, do
texdoc currvita
It takes a second to for TeX to build you a Currvita manual, but you'll
be glad you did.
