Change a word in a thesis PDF
A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. Swap one word for another straight in the PDF, in the same font, size and colour as the words around it.

What people change in a thesis
- • Typos and small corrections
- • Page numbers from the first chapter
- • Signed approval page
- • File size for the repository
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.
