How Google Docs writes PDFs
- • Download as PDF uses Google Fonts, embedded as subsets.
- • Lines often end with an invisible zero width space.
- • Text is positioned word by word.
What that means when you change an email address
- • Google Docs fonts are open, so any new letter can be set in the exact same font. Invisible line end characters are handled, so edits do not leave stray spaces.
- • Because Google Docs uses open fonts, any letter you type is set in the exact same font, even if the PDF never contained it.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Linked text is shown in blue and underlined so readers can tell it is a link.
- • Long addresses push the rest of the contact row along instead of wrapping mid address.
Questions people ask
+Will the old mailto link still work?
Update it with the link button so it points to the new address.
+Is it better to edit in Google Docs?
If you have the original Google Docs 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.
