Change a version number in a Apple Pages PDF
Bump the version, revision or draft number of a document. This works on the PDF Apple Pages exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from Apple Pages in MythosPDF.
- 2.Type the new version.
- 3.Press Enter to save the line, then Export PDF.
How Apple Pages writes PDFs
- • Export uses the macOS PDF engine with subset fonts.
- • Some subsets use custom character codes described only by their text map.
- • Word spaces are sometimes positioning rather than space characters.
What that means when you change a version number
- • MythosPDF decodes custom character codes through the font's own text map and handles spaces written as positioning. Apple system fonts are not open, so new letters use what the PDF contains, or a close open font with your permission.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Update it in the header, footer and cover if it appears in several places.
- • Compare with the previous version to list the changes.
Questions people ask
+How do I show what changed between versions?
Use Compare to see both versions side by side.
+Is it better to edit in Apple Pages?
If you have the original Apple Pages 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.
