How Google Docs writes PDFs

  • • Download as PDF uses Google Fonts, embedded as subsets.
  • • Lines often end with an invisible zero width space.
  • • Text is positioned word by word.

What that means when you edit a table cell

  • • Google Docs fonts are open, so any new letter can be set in the exact same font. Invisible line end characters are handled, so edits do not leave stray spaces.

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 Google Docs?

If you have the original Google Docs 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.
