Change a name in an employee handbook PDF
Handbooks need small, careful updates: a new holiday, a changed contact, a revised policy line. Make them in the PDF and keep a precise record of the changes. Update a person's or organisation's name wherever it appears, in the same typeface as before.

What people change in an employee handbook
- • Policy wording
- • HR contacts
- • Holiday list
- • Effective date and version
- • Office addresses
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.
Publish a change log
Compare the new handbook with the previous version and share the result so staff see exactly what changed.
Mark drafts
Watermark drafts while they're under review, and remove the watermark by exporting from the unwatermarked copy.
