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 an email address
- • Letters already embedded are reused; for new letters in Apple fonts, you choose whether to use a close open font.
- • macOS Preview and Print 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.
