How Microsoft Access prints
- • Reports print field values into fixed boxes laid out in the report designer.
- • Totals and page numbers print as text computed at print time.
- • Nothing links back to the database once printed.
What that means when you change a product 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 tables wrap inside their cell.
- • Headings keep their size and weight.
Questions people ask
+Can I change the product photo too?
Yes. Remove the old image and add the new one in the same place.
+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 Microsoft Access?
If you still have the Microsoft Access file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
