Change a version number in a LaTeX PDF
Bump the version, revision or draft number of a document. This works on the PDF LaTeX exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from LaTeX in MythosPDF.
- 2.Type the new version.
- 3.Press Enter to save the line, then Export PDF.
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 version 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
- • 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 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.
