How macOS Preview and Print writes PDFs
- • Uses the macOS PDF engine with subset fonts.
- • Fonts are often Apple system fonts.
What that means when you edit a sentence
- • Letters already embedded are reused; for new letters in Apple fonts, you choose whether to use a close open font.
- • macOS Preview and Print 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 macOS Preview and Print?
If you have the original macOS Preview and Print 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.
