How Overleaf writes PDFs
- • Overleaf compiles LaTeX, so PDFs use Type1 fonts such as Computer Modern or Latin Modern.
- • Ligatures such as fi and fl are single glyphs.
What that means when you change text alignment
- • Small fixes in text, references and captions can be made in the PDF. Larger changes are cleaner in the Overleaf source.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Only the chosen text changes alignment.
- • Justified lines stretch word gaps evenly; the last line stays left.
Questions people ask
+Does it affect the whole page?
No. Only the paragraph you are editing.
+Is it better to edit in Overleaf?
If you have the original Overleaf 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.
