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 the date
- • Letters already embedded are reused; for new letters in Apple fonts, you choose whether to use 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.
