How Google Sheets writes PDFs

  • • Cells become positioned text with optional grid lines.
  • • Numbers are right aligned.
  • • Fonts are Google Fonts.

What that means when you edit a caption

  • • Cell values can be edited and keep their alignment; totals are not recalculated.
  • • Because Google Sheets uses open fonts, any letter you type is set in the exact same font, even if the PDF never contained it.

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 Google Sheets?

If you have the original Google Sheets 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.
