- 2.Type the new version.
- 3.Press Enter to save the line, then Export PDF.
New letters in Arial Black
- • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed, in the printout's own shapes.
- • Arial Black 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 a version number
- • Letters you type that already appear in the printout, in the same font, are copied from its own letter shapes, so they print identically.
- • Digits are recovered like letters, so a changed number keeps the printed digit shapes and spacing.
- • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.

Questions people ask

Use Compare to see both versions side by side.
+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.
