Change a version number in a LibreOffice PDF
Bump the version, revision or draft number of a document. This works on the PDF LibreOffice exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from LibreOffice in MythosPDF.
- 2.Type the new version.
- 3.Press Enter to save the line, then Export PDF.
How LibreOffice writes PDFs
- • Export embeds subset fonts, often Liberation or DejaVu.
- • Paragraphs are written line by line.
What that means when you change a version number
- • LibreOffice's default fonts are open, and Liberation fonts have the same widths as Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, so edits match exactly.
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 LibreOffice?
If you have the original LibreOffice 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.
