How Google Docs writes PDFs

  • • Download as PDF uses Google Fonts, embedded as subsets.
  • • Lines often end with an invisible zero width space.
  • • Text is positioned word by word.

What that means when you change a phone number

  • • Google Docs fonts are open, so any new letter can be set in the exact same font. Invisible line end characters are handled, so edits do not leave stray spaces.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Numbers next to icons stay beside their icon; the row moves as a unit if the number gets longer.
  • • Plus signs and brackets are set in the same font as the digits.

Questions people ask

+Will the phone icon move?

Only if the text in front of it gets wider. Icons in a contact row move along with their text.

+Is it better to edit in Google Docs?

If you have the original Google Docs 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.
