How Google Docs printed from a browser prints
- • Printing a Google Doc through the browser to Microsoft Print to PDF gives a different file than Download as PDF.
- • Google Docs uses Arial 11 by default.
- • The page layout matches the document's page setup.
What that means when you delete text
- • Letters you type that already appear in the printout, in the same font, are copied from its own letter shapes, so they print identically.
- • 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 text is truly removed from the file, not covered with a white box.
- • Deleting a paragraph pulls the content below it up by the space it used.
Questions people ask
+Is deleted text really gone?
Yes. The characters are removed from the page, so they cannot be copied or searched afterwards.
+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 Docs printed from a browser?
If you still have the Google Docs 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.
