PDF problem
Edited text overlapping in a PDF
SymptomYour longer replacement text runs past the margin, into the next column, or over the line below.
Why it happens
- •The editor places new text where the old started but doesn't rewrap the paragraph.
- •The editor estimates text width instead of measuring the font, so it misjudges when to break.
How to fix it
Edit in a reflowing editor
MythosPDF rewraps the paragraph using the font's real widths and moves only the content below it down to make room.
Shorten or tighten
If the page is full, trim a few words or tighten the paragraph's line spacing slightly.

+What if the page runs out of space?
The overflow continues on a new page inserted after it, rather than being cut off.
+Will my footer move?
No. Footers stay anchored at the bottom of the page.
