Change a name in a thesis PDF
A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. Update a person's or organisation's name wherever it appears, in the same typeface as before.

What people change in a thesis
- • Typos and small corrections
- • Page numbers from the first chapter
- • Signed approval page
- • File size for the repository
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.
