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 line spacing
- • 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
- • Spacing changes in half point steps.
- • Content below moves by the total change.
Questions people ask
+Can this make text fit on one page?
Often, yes. Slightly tighter spacing can save a line or two.
+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.
