How Canva writes PDFs
- • Designs are exported with subset fonts, many of them Google Fonts.
- • Each text box is placed on its own, often line by line.
- • Shapes and images are layered around the text.
What that means when you compare two versions
- • Most Canva fonts are open, so new letters match. Each text box reflows inside its own box, and shapes behind the text are left alone.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The differences between the two files are highlighted.
- • Useful before sending a revised draft.
Questions people ask
