How Gmail printed from a browser prints

  • • Print all puts the whole conversation into one PDF.
  • • Each message starts with the sender, recipients and date.
  • • Quoted replies keep their own fonts.

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.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Update it in the header, footer and cover if it appears in several places.
  • • Compare with the previous version to list the changes.

Questions people ask

+How do I show what changed between versions?

Use Compare to see both versions side by side.

+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 Gmail printed from a browser?

If you still have the Gmail printed from a browser file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
