How macOS Preview and Print writes PDFs

  • • Uses the macOS PDF engine with subset fonts.
  • • Fonts are often Apple system fonts.

What that means when you change a currency symbol

  • • Letters already embedded are reused; for new letters in Apple fonts, you choose whether to use a close open font.
  • • macOS Preview and Print 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

  • • If the PDF never used the new symbol, MythosPDF loads the complete font so it matches.
  • • If the font has no such symbol at all, it asks before using the closest font that has it.

Questions people ask

+Why might the ₹ symbol need another font?

Older fonts were made before the symbol existed. MythosPDF tells you before using a font that has it.

+Is it better to edit in macOS Preview and Print?

If you have the original macOS Preview and Print 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.
