How Microsoft Print to PDF writes PDFs
- • Depending on the app and the fonts, the Windows driver either embeds the fonts or draws every letter as a filled shape with no text behind it.
- • Letters are placed one at a time in printer units.
- • Thin letters and punctuation from many lines are often collected into one shape.
What that means when you change a name
- • When the letters are drawn shapes, MythosPDF reads them and rebuilds real text from the document's own letter outlines, so the page looks the same and becomes editable. Printouts that embed fonts edit like any other PDF.
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.
