Edit a Chrome Save as PDF thesis PDF
A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. If it was made in Chrome Save as PDF, you can edit the PDF itself. MythosPDF regroups Chrome's split Type3 fonts into the real typeface and identifies it by its letter widths, so new text matches, imitated bold included.
