How Chrome Save as PDF writes PDFs
- • Chrome writes web fonts as Type3 fonts, often splitting one font into many small ones.
- • Letters are frequently placed one at a time.
- • Bold is sometimes imitated by outlining regular letters.
What that means when you change a name
- • MythosPDF regroups Chrome's split Type3 fonts into the real typeface and identifies it by its letter widths, so new text matches, imitated bold included.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • A longer name pushes the words after it along the line; right aligned names grow to the left.
- • Names often contain letters the PDF has not used yet, like Z, Q or accented letters. The complete font is loaded for them.
