Change the company name in a Google Chrome printout
Rebrand a proposal, quote or letter for a new client or after a name change. This works on the PDF Google Chrome 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.Replace the company name in each place it appears.
- 3.Swap the logo too if needed, then Export PDF.
How Google Chrome prints
- • Chrome's print dialog can send any page to Microsoft Print to PDF instead of its own Save as PDF.
- • Headers and footers with the date, title and web address are optional.
- • Web fonts the site loads are printed along with Windows fonts.
What that means when you change the company name
- • Letters you type that already appear in the printout, in the same font, are copied from its own letter shapes, so they print identically.
- • A letter the printout never used comes from the identified typeface. For fonts that are not openly available, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font.
- • 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
- • Names in headings keep the heading's size and weight.
- • Compare the result with the original to make sure no old name is left.
Questions people ask
+How do I catch every mention?
After editing, use Compare to see all changes, and search the PDF for the old name.
+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 Google Chrome?
If you still have the Google Chrome file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
