How Adobe Acrobat Reader prints

  • • Printing a PDF to Microsoft Print to PDF makes a brand new PDF from the printed pages.
  • • Print as image in the advanced options turns each page into a picture, which behaves like a scan.
  • • Form fields print as they appear, flattened into the page.

What that means when you add a table column

  • • Printed tables are lines drawn around text. After recovery, rows and cells are found from those lines and the recovered words.
  • • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • The new column's borders follow the table's own.
  • • Columns share the table's width, so check that long values still fit.

Questions people ask

+Can I delete a column?

Yes. Open the delete menu on a cell and choose Delete this column.

+Why can't I select text in my Microsoft Print to PDF file?

The driver often draws every letter as a shape instead of writing text. MythosPDF reads those shapes and turns them back into real text before you edit.

+Is it better to reprint from Adobe Acrobat Reader?

If you still have the Adobe Acrobat Reader file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
