How Google Sheets writes PDFs
- • Cells become positioned text with optional grid lines.
- • Numbers are right aligned.
- • Fonts are Google Fonts.
What that means when you change a name
- • Cell values can be edited and keep their alignment; totals are not recalculated.
- • Because Google Sheets 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
- • 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.
Questions people ask
+Should I change names on official documents?
Only on documents you are entitled to change, such as your own drafts, templates and letters.
+Is it better to edit in Google Sheets?
If you have the original Google Sheets 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.
