How Microsoft Access prints
- • Reports print field values into fixed boxes laid out in the report designer.
- • Totals and page numbers print as text computed at print time.
- • Nothing links back to the database once printed.
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 Microsoft Access?
If you still have the Microsoft Access file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
