How Adobe Illustrator writes PDFs
- • Text may be live text or outlines.
- • Artwork is layered around the text.
What that means when you edit a caption
- • Live text can be edited; text converted to outlines is drawing, not text, and cannot be edited.
- • Adobe Illustrator often uses fonts that are not freely available. Letters already in the PDF are reused exactly; for a letter it never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Captions keep their smaller size and italic style.
- • Figure numbers are plain text, so update them yourself.
Questions people ask
+Are figure numbers updated automatically?
No. Edit each number that changes.
+Is it better to edit in Adobe Illustrator?
If you have the original Adobe Illustrator 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.
