Rewrite a paragraph in a Microsoft Word 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 Microsoft Word exported, so you do not need the original file.

How Microsoft Word writes PDFs

  • • Save as PDF embeds only the letters used, as subset TrueType fonts.
  • • Each run of formatting is written as its own piece of text, and justified paragraphs stretch word gaps.
  • • Tables are drawn as lines around positioned text.

What that means when you rewrite a paragraph

  • • Word PDFs edit cleanly: runs, bold and italic are recognised, and justified paragraphs rewrap with even spacing. Calibri, Cambria and Aptos are not open fonts; Calibri and Cambria have open clones with identical widths, and Aptos gets the closest open font only with your permission.

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 Microsoft Word?

If you have the original Microsoft Word 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.
