How Overleaf writes PDFs
- • Overleaf compiles LaTeX, so PDFs use Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern or Latin Modern.
- • Ligatures such as fi and fl are single glyphs.
What that means when you change the date
- • Small fixes in text, references and captions can be made in the PDF. Larger changes are cleaner in the Overleaf source.
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 Overleaf?
If you have the original Overleaf 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.
