Edit a LaTeX user manual PDF

Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. If it was made in LaTeX, you can edit the PDF itself. Body text and headings edit well; kerning is preserved around your change. Equations are best changed in the source and recompiled.

  • • Equations are built from many small pieces.

Questions people ask

Yes. Balanced compression shrinks screenshots and keeps text sharp.
