How Notepad++ prints
- • Notepad++ uses Courier New by default.
- • Printing can keep the syntax colours of the editor.
- • Headers and footers can show the file name, date and page.
What that means when you change the year
- • 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
- • Repeated headers and footers are separate text on each page, so edit each page's copy.
- • Tabular digits keep columns of years lined up.
Questions people ask
+Is there a find and replace?
Not yet. Edit each occurrence; each keeps its own layout exactly.
+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 Notepad++?
If you still have the Notepad++ file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
