How Adobe InDesign writes PDFs

  • • Fonts are embedded as subsets, often OpenType CFF.
  • • Text frames can be threaded across columns.
  • • Precise kerning and tracking are written into lines.

What that means when you change the date

  • • Kerning and tracking are kept around your edit. Many InDesign fonts are commercial, so new letters come from the PDF or, with your permission, a close open font.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Dates in table cells stay aligned with the rest of their column.
  • • Digits already used in the document are reused exactly; any new ones come from the same font.

Questions people ask

+Can I change the date format?

Yes. Type it however you like, for example 5 March 2026 instead of 05/03/2026.

+Is it better to edit in Adobe InDesign?

If you have the original Adobe InDesign 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.
