How LaTeX writes PDFs

  • • pdfTeX embeds Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern.
  • • Kerning and ligatures are written into each line.
  • • Equations are built from many small pieces.

What that means when you add a bullet point

  • • Body text and headings edit well; kerning is preserved around your change. Equations are best changed in the source and recompiled.
  • • LaTeX often uses fonts that are not freely available. Letters already in the PDF are reused exactly; for a letter it never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • The new bullet copies the list's marker, indent and line spacing.
  • • Items below move down to make room.

Questions people ask

+Where does the new bullet go?

Directly below the bullet you clicked, and the items below move down.

+Is it better to edit in LaTeX?

If you have the original LaTeX file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
