How reporting tools writes PDFs
- • Tools like iText, JasperReports and BI Publisher write text piece by piece.
- • Some fonts are used only for spaces and punctuation, and Indic text is often marked per letter cluster.
What that means when you compare two versions
- • MythosPDF recognises fonts used only for punctuation and sets new letters in the document's real text font, including shaped Indic scripts.
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
+Do I need both files?
