Change a word in a LaTeX PDF
Swap one word for another straight in the PDF, in the same font, size and colour as the words around it. This works on the PDF LaTeX exported, so you do not need the original file.

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 change a word
- • 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
- • A longer word can push the rest of the line along or wrap it onto the next line, just as a word processor would.
- • Words in bold or underlined keep that style when you retype them.
Questions people ask
+Can I replace the same word everywhere?
Edit each place where it appears. Each edit keeps its own line's layout.
+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.
