How Chrome Save as PDF writes PDFs

  • • Chrome writes web fonts as Type3 fonts, often splitting one font into many small ones.
  • • Letters are frequently placed one at a time.
  • • Bold is sometimes imitated by outlining regular letters.

What that means when you change the year

  • • MythosPDF regroups Chrome's split Type3 fonts into the real typeface and identifies it by its letter widths, so new text matches, imitated bold included.

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.
