How Microsoft Word writes PDFs

  • • Save as PDF embeds only the letters used, as subset TrueType fonts.
  • • Each run of formatting is written as its own piece of text, and justified paragraphs stretch word gaps.
  • • Tables are drawn as lines around positioned text.

What that means when you add a table column

  • • Word PDFs edit cleanly: runs, bold and italic are recognised, and justified paragraphs rewrap with even spacing. Calibri, Cambria and Aptos are not open fonts; Calibri and Cambria have open clones with identical widths, and Aptos gets the closest open font only with your permission.
  • • Microsoft Word tables keep their drawn borders; new or removed rows follow them.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • The new column's borders follow the table's own.
  • • Columns share the table's width, so check that long values still fit.

Questions people ask

+Can I delete a column?

Yes. Open the delete menu on a cell and choose Delete this column.

+Is it better to edit in Microsoft Word?

If you have the original Microsoft Word 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.
