A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit.
What people change in a thesis
- ✓Typos and small corrections
- ✓Page numbers from the first chapter
- ✓Signed approval page
- ✓File size for the repository
Typing German
The editor has a built in German keyboard: press the अ/A button while editing and type German letters by clicking, next to your normal keyboard. Characters to check after editing: ä, ö, ü, ß, „ “.
Which font new German text uses
First the font your PDF already uses for German, even when only a few of its letters are embedded: MythosPDF loads the complete font and sets new letters in it. If the PDF has no Latin font at all, it asks before adding an open Noto font for those letters, and tells you it did.

Questions people ask
+Can I use Roman numerals for the front matter?
Not yet. Arabic numbers are supported.
+My university requires PDF/A. Can you convert?
Not yet. Most thesis tools and word processors can export PDF/A directly.
+Can I write parts of the thesis in German and parts in English?
Yes. Each language is set in the font the PDF uses for it, so a bilingual thesis keeps both fonts.
