How Canva writes PDFs
- • Designs are exported with subset fonts, many of them Google Fonts.
- • Each text box is placed on its own, often line by line.
- • Shapes and images are layered around the text.
What that means when you make text bold
- • Most Canva fonts are open, so new letters match. Each text box reflows inside its own box, and shapes behind the text are left alone.
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 Canva?
If you have the original Canva 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.
