Rewrite a paragraph in a Adobe Illustrator PDF
Replace a whole paragraph and keep the page design: the new text reflows in the paragraph's own font and width. This works on the PDF Adobe Illustrator exported, so you do not need the original file.

How Adobe Illustrator writes PDFs
- • Text may be live text or outlines.
- • Artwork is layered around the text.
What that means when you rewrite a paragraph
- • Live text can be edited; text converted to outlines is drawing, not text, and cannot be edited.
- • Adobe Illustrator often uses fonts that are not freely available. Letters already in the PDF are reused exactly; for a letter it never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Pasted text arrives as plain text, so it takes the paragraph's style instead of the clipboard's.
- • Shorter text pulls the content below up; longer text pushes it down.
Questions people ask
+Can I paste text from Word?
Yes. It is pasted as plain text and set in the paragraph's own font.
+Is it better to edit in Adobe Illustrator?
If you have the original Adobe Illustrator 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.
