How Google Sheets printed from a browser prints

  • • Google Sheets uses Arial 10 by default.
  • • Grid lines print only when you ask for them.
  • • Numbers stay right aligned in their cells.

What that means when you edit a caption

  • • 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

  • • Captions keep their smaller size and italic style.
  • • Figure numbers are plain text, so update them yourself.

Questions people ask

+Are figure numbers updated automatically?

No. Edit each number that changes.

+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 Sheets printed from a browser?

If you still have the Google Sheets 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.
