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 delete text
- • 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 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 reporting tools?
If you have the original reporting tools 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.
