How LaTeX writes PDFs
- • pdfTeX embeds Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern.
- • Kerning and ligatures are written into each line.
- • Equations are built from many small pieces.
What that means when you change an email address
- • Body text and headings edit well; kerning is preserved around your change. Equations are best changed in the source and recompiled.
- • LaTeX often uses fonts that are not freely available. Letters already in the PDF are reused exactly; for a letter it never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.
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 LaTeX?
If you have the original LaTeX 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.
