How reporting tools writes PDFs

  • • Tools like iText, JasperReports and BI Publisher write text piece by piece.
  • • Some fonts are used only for spaces and punctuation, and Indic text is often marked per letter cluster.

What that means when you change a phone number

  • • MythosPDF recognises fonts used only for punctuation and sets new letters in the document's real text font, including shaped Indic scripts.

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 reporting tools?

If you have the original reporting tools 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.
