How Adobe InDesign writes PDFs

  • • Fonts are embedded as subsets, often OpenType CFF.
  • • Text frames can be threaded across columns.
  • • Precise kerning and tracking are written into lines.

What that means when you edit a sentence

  • • Kerning and tracking are kept around your edit. Many InDesign fonts are commercial, so new letters come from the PDF or, with your permission, a close open font.
  • • Adobe InDesign 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

  • • The paragraph rewraps inside its own width. If it grows by a line, the text below moves down by exactly one line.
  • • Hyphenation and justified spacing follow the paragraph's existing look.

Questions people ask

+What if the new sentence is longer?

The paragraph rewraps and everything below it moves down evenly. If the page is full, the overflow continues on a new page.

+Is it better to edit in Adobe InDesign?

If you have the original Adobe InDesign 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.
