How reporting tools writes PDFs
- • Tools like iText, JasperReports and BI Publisher write text piece by piece.
- • Some fonts are used only for spaces and punctuation, and Indic text is often marked per letter cluster.
What that means when you make text bold
- • MythosPDF recognises fonts used only for punctuation and sets new letters in the document's real text font, including shaped Indic scripts.
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 reporting tools?
If you have the original reporting tools 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.
