Change a version number in a Microsoft Word PDF
Bump the version, revision or draft number of a document. This works on the PDF Microsoft Word exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from Microsoft Word in MythosPDF.
- 2.Type the new version.
- 3.Press Enter to save the line, then Export PDF.
How Microsoft Word writes PDFs
- • Save as PDF embeds only the letters used, as subset TrueType fonts.
- • Each run of formatting is written as its own piece of text, and justified paragraphs stretch word gaps.
- • Tables are drawn as lines around positioned text.
What that means when you change a version number
- • Word PDFs edit cleanly: runs, bold and italic are recognised, and justified paragraphs rewrap with even spacing. Calibri, Cambria and Aptos are not open fonts; Calibri and Cambria have open clones with identical widths, and Aptos gets the closest open font only 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 Microsoft Word?
If you have the original Microsoft Word 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.
