How Visual Studio Code prints
- • The Windows default editor font is Consolas, falling back to Courier New.
- • Code prints in one monospaced font where every letter has the same width.
- • Line numbers print only when the print extension adds them.
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.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Spacing changes in half point steps.
- • Content below moves by the total change.
Questions people ask
+Can this make text fit on one page?
Often, yes. Slightly tighter spacing can save a line or two.
+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 Visual Studio Code?
If you still have the Visual Studio Code file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
