New letters in Arial Narrow

  • • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed, in the printout's own shapes.
  • • Arial Narrow is not an open font. For a letter the printout never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.

What that means when you change line spacing

  • • Formatting applies to the recovered text exactly as it would in a PDF that was saved with fonts.
  • • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.

Questions people ask

+Can this make text fit on one page?

Often, yes. Slightly tighter spacing can save a line or two.

+Will the page look different after recovery?

No. The rebuilt text uses the document's own letter outlines, and every page is compared with the original before you edit.
