How Canva writes PDFs
- • Designs are exported with subset fonts, many of them Google Fonts.
- • Each text box is placed on its own, often line by line.
- • Shapes and images are layered around the text.
What that means when you change the date
- • Most Canva fonts are open, so new letters match. Each text box reflows inside its own box, and shapes behind the text are left alone.
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 Canva?
If you have the original Canva 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.
