Stamp DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or your own text across pages. This works on the PDF Thunderbird printed, even when its letters are only drawn shapes.
How to do it
- 1.Drop your Microsoft Print to PDF file into MythosPDF. Drawn letters are turned back into text in a few seconds.
- 2.Type the text and choose size, angle and opacity.
- 3.Download the PDF.
How Thunderbird prints
- • A printed message starts with its subject, sender, date and recipients.
- • Plain text messages print in a fixed width font.
- • Pictures in the message print with it.
What that means when you add a watermark
- • Page tools work on the printout as it is; no text recovery is needed.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The watermark is added as a layer; the original page content is not rewritten.
- • Works on every page at once.
Questions people ask
+Can I remove a watermark later?
Keep the original file. Watermarks are added to the copy you download.
+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 Thunderbird?
If you still have the Thunderbird file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
