How Adobe InDesign writes PDFs
- • Fonts are embedded as subsets, often OpenType CFF.
- • Text frames can be threaded across columns.
- • Precise kerning and tracking are written into lines.
What that means when you make text bold
- • Kerning and tracking are kept around your edit. Many InDesign fonts are commercial, so new letters come from the PDF or, with your permission, a close open font.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The real bold style of the same family is used when it exists.
- • If the family has no bold, MythosPDF asks before imitating one.
Questions people ask
+Is the bold the real font?
Yes, when the family has a bold style. Otherwise you choose whether to imitate it.
+Is it better to edit in Adobe InDesign?
If you have the original Adobe InDesign 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.
