How LibreOffice writes PDFs
- • Export embeds subset fonts, often Liberation or DejaVu.
- • Paragraphs are written line by line.
What that means when you edit a caption
- • LibreOffice's default fonts are open, and Liberation fonts have the same widths as Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New, so edits match exactly.
- • Because LibreOffice 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 LibreOffice?
If you have the original LibreOffice 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.
