How Adobe Illustrator writes PDFs
- • Text may be live text or outlines.
- • Artwork is layered around the text.
What that means when you change a website address
- • Live text can be edited; text converted to outlines is drawing, not text, and cannot be edited.
- • Adobe Illustrator often uses fonts that are not freely available. Letters already in the PDF are reused exactly; for a letter it never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The printed text and the clickable link are separate. Update both.
- • Addresses are set in the same font as before.
Questions people ask
+Does the printed address have to match the link?
It should. Readers of a printed copy only see the text.
+Is it better to edit in Adobe Illustrator?
If you have the original Adobe Illustrator 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.
