How Adobe Acrobat writes PDFs

  • • Acrobat created PDFs carry whatever fonts the source used.
  • • Edited Acrobat files sometimes contain replaced or added text objects.

What that means when you edit a reference

  • • MythosPDF edits them like any text based PDF, keeping the fonts already embedded.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Hanging indents are kept when the entry rewraps.
  • • Italic journal names stay italic.

Questions people ask

+Can I fix a paper after exporting from LaTeX?

Yes, for small fixes. For big changes, recompile the source.

+Is it better to edit in Adobe Acrobat?

If you have the original Adobe Acrobat 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.
