How Google Chrome prints

  • • Chrome's print dialog can send any page to Microsoft Print to PDF instead of its own Save as PDF.
  • • Headers and footers with the date, title and web address are optional.
  • • Web fonts the site loads are printed along with Windows fonts.

What that means when you change a website address

  • • 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

  • • The printed text and the clickable link are separate. Update both.
  • • Addresses are set in the same font as before.

Questions people ask

+Does the printed address have to match the link?

It should. Readers of a printed copy only see the text.

+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 Google Chrome?

If you still have the Google Chrome file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
