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 change an email address
- • 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
- • Linked text is shown in blue and underlined so readers can tell it is a link.
- • Long addresses push the rest of the contact row along instead of wrapping mid address.
Questions people ask
+Will the old mailto link still work?
Update it with the link button so it points to the new address.
+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.
