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 the recipient
- • Body text and headings edit well; kerning is preserved around your change. Equations are best changed in the source and recompiled.
- • LaTeX often uses fonts that are not freely available. Letters already in the PDF are reused exactly; for a letter it never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Address blocks keep their line spacing.
- • The greeting line is separate; remember to change it too.
Questions people ask
+Can I reuse one letter for many people?
Yes. Edit and export once per recipient.
+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.
