How Microsoft Word prints
- • Printing from Word sends the laid out page to the driver, so the PDF looks exactly like the print preview.
- • Microsoft 365 uses Aptos by default; documents from before 2023 usually use Calibri or Times New Roman.
- • Tables print as lines drawn around positioned text.
What that means when you edit a link
- • Printed pages carry no links. After recovery you can add one to any text with Ctrl+K.
- • 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
- • Web addresses, email addresses (mailto) and phone numbers (tel) are accepted.
- • New links are shown in blue and underlined, as readers expect.
Questions people ask
+Can I remove a link but keep the text?
Yes. Select the linked text and use Remove link.
+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 Microsoft Word?
If you still have the Microsoft Word file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
