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 edit a footnote

  • • 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

  • • Small footnote text keeps its size and superscript numbers.
  • • Footnotes near the page edge stay inside the page.

Questions people ask

+Can I renumber footnotes?

Edit the numbers yourself; they are ordinary text in the PDF.

+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.
