Rebrand a proposal, quote or letter for a new client or after a name change. This works on the PDF Adobe Illustrator exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from Adobe Illustrator in MythosPDF.
- 2.Replace the company name in each place it appears.
- 3.Swap the logo too if needed, then Export PDF.
How Adobe Illustrator writes PDFs
- • Text may be live text or outlines.
- • Artwork is layered around the text.
What that means when you change the company name
- • Live text can be edited; text converted to outlines is drawing, not text, and cannot be edited.
- • Adobe Illustrator 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
- • Names in headings keep the heading's size and weight.
- • Compare the result with the original to make sure no old name is left.
Questions people ask
+How do I catch every mention?
After editing, use Compare to see all changes, and search the PDF for the old name.
+Is it better to edit in Adobe Illustrator?
If you have the original Adobe Illustrator 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.
