How Adobe InDesign writes PDFs
- • Fonts are embedded as subsets, often OpenType CFF.
- • Text frames can be threaded across columns.
- • Precise kerning and tracking are written into lines.
What that means when you change the year
- • Kerning and tracking are kept around your edit. Many InDesign fonts are commercial, so new letters come from the PDF or, with your permission, a close open font.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Repeated headers and footers are separate text on each page, so edit each page's copy.
- • Tabular digits keep columns of years lined up.
Questions people ask
+Is there a find and replace?
Not yet. Edit each occurrence; each keeps its own layout exactly.
+Is it better to edit in Adobe InDesign?
If you have the original Adobe InDesign 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.
