How RTF viewers prints
- • Rich text files print with the fonts named inside them.
- • Formatting is simple: fonts, bold, italic and alignment.
- • Tables in rich text print as lines around text.
What that means when you change a 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
- • A longer name pushes the words after it along the line; right aligned names grow to the left.
- • Names often contain letters the PDF has not used yet, like Z, Q or accented letters. The complete font is loaded for them.
Questions people ask
+Should I change names on official documents?
Only on documents you are entitled to change, such as your own drafts, templates and letters.
+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 RTF viewers?
If you still have the RTF viewers file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
