Delete a page in an agenda printed to PDF
Agendas change up to the last minute: a speaker swaps, a session moves. Change the times and names directly in the PDF and reshare it. If it was printed with Microsoft Print to PDF, the text may be drawn shapes. MythosPDF recovers it first, then you delete a page as usual.
How to do it
- 1.Drop your Microsoft Print to PDF file into MythosPDF. Drawn letters are turned back into text in a few seconds.
- 2.Select the pages to delete.
- 3.Download the PDF.
What people change in an agenda
- • Session times
- • Speaker names and titles
- • Room or link details
- • Breaks and order of items
What that means when you delete a page
- • Page tools work on the printout as it is; no text recovery is needed.
How Microsoft Print to PDF writes the PDF
- • Depending on the app and the fonts, Microsoft Print to PDF either embeds the fonts or draws every letter as a filled shape.
- • When letters are drawn as shapes, the PDF has no text at all: you cannot select, copy or search anything on the page.
- • Letters are placed one at a time in printer units, inside a flipped page transform.
- • Thin letters such as l, i and I, and the dots of punctuation, are often collected from many lines into one shape drawn later.
Questions people ask
+Can I get a deleted page back?
Keep the original file; deletion applies to the downloaded copy.
+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.
