How macOS Preview and Print writes PDFs
- • Uses the macOS PDF engine with subset fonts.
- • Fonts are often Apple system fonts.
What that means when you change the year
- • Letters already embedded are reused; for new letters in Apple fonts, you choose whether to use 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.
