How Xero writes PDFs
- • Invoices and quotes are generated with embedded fonts.
- • Tables hold line items.
What that means when you change a name
- • Line items edit in place and new rows copy the table's borders.
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 Xero?
If you have the original Xero 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.
