Edit a Microsoft Word purchase order PDF
A purchase order is a header of addresses and terms over a table of items. Change the items, quantities and delivery details before you issue it, and keep the layout your supplier expects. If it was made in Microsoft Word, you can edit the PDF itself. Word PDFs edit cleanly: runs, bold and italic are recognised, and justified paragraphs rewrap with even spacing. Calibri, Cambria and Aptos are not open fonts; Calibri and Cambria have open clones with identical widths, and Aptos gets the closest open font only with your permission.
How to do it
- 1.Open the purchase order PDF exported from Microsoft Word in MythosPDF.
- 2.Click the text you want to change and type.
- 3.Press Enter to save, then Export PDF.

- • Requested delivery date
- • Payment and delivery terms
How Microsoft Word writes PDFs
- • Save as PDF embeds only the letters used, as subset TrueType fonts.
- • Each run of formatting is written as its own piece of text, and justified paragraphs stretch word gaps.
- • Tables are drawn as lines around positioned text.
Issue revisions, don't overwrite
If a PO was already sent, issue a revised one with a new number or revision mark so both sides know which is current.
Long descriptions wrap
Item descriptions wrap inside their cell and the row grows, pushing the rows below down evenly.
