Rewrite a paragraph in a reporting tools 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 reporting tools exported, so you do not need the original file.

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 rewrite a paragraph

  • • 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

  • • 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 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.
