How Adobe Illustrator writes PDFs

  • • Text may be live text or outlines.
  • • Artwork is layered around the text.

What that means when you edit a table cell

  • • Live text can be edited; text converted to outlines is drawing, not text, and cannot be edited.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Right aligned numbers grow to the left so columns stay lined up.
  • • Longer text wraps inside the cell and the row grows.

Questions people ask

+Can I fill an empty cell?

+Is it better to edit in Adobe Illustrator?

If you have the original Adobe Illustrator 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.
