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 table cell
- • 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 tables keep their drawn borders; new or removed rows follow them.
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.
