How Microsoft Print to PDF writes PDFs
- • Depending on the app and the fonts, the Windows driver either embeds the fonts or draws every letter as a filled shape with no text behind it.
- • Letters are placed one at a time in printer units.
- • Thin letters and punctuation from many lines are often collected into one shape.
What that means when you fix a typo
- • When the letters are drawn shapes, MythosPDF reads them and rebuilds real text from the document's own letter outlines, so the page looks the same and becomes editable. Printouts that embed fonts edit like any other PDF.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Only the words you touch are rewritten. The rest of the line keeps its exact position and spacing.
- • If the correct letter was never used anywhere in the file, MythosPDF loads the complete font so the letter matches.
Questions people ask
+Will fixing one letter move the rest of the paragraph?
Only if the word gets wider or narrower. Then the words after it on that line shift by exactly the difference, and nothing else moves.
+Is it better to edit in Microsoft Print to PDF?
If you have the original Microsoft Print to PDF 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.
