How LaTeX writes PDFs

  • • pdfTeX embeds Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern.
  • • Kerning and ligatures are written into each line.
  • • Equations are built from many small pieces.

What that means when you change a phone number

  • • Body text and headings edit well; kerning is preserved around your change. Equations are best changed in the source and recompiled.

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 LaTeX?

If you have the original LaTeX 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.
