How Google Docs writes PDFs
- • Download as PDF uses Google Fonts, embedded as subsets.
- • Lines often end with an invisible zero width space.
- • Text is positioned word by word.
What that means when you delete text
- • Google Docs fonts are open, so any new letter can be set in the exact same font. Invisible line end characters are handled, so edits do not leave stray spaces.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The text is truly removed from the file, not covered with a white box.
- • Deleting a paragraph pulls the content below it up by the space it used.
Questions people ask
+Is deleted text really gone?
Yes. The characters are removed from the page, so they cannot be copied or searched afterwards.
+Is it better to edit in Google Docs?
If you have the original Google Docs 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.
