How Apple Pages writes PDFs
- • Export uses the macOS PDF engine with subset fonts.
- • Some subsets use custom character codes described only by their text map.
- • Word spaces are sometimes positioning rather than space characters.
What that means when you edit a caption
- • MythosPDF decodes custom character codes through the font's own text map and handles spaces written as positioning. Apple system fonts are not open, so new letters use what the PDF contains, or a close open font with your permission.
- • Apple Pages 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 Apple Pages?
If you have the original Apple Pages 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.
