How WPS Writer prints
- • Documents keep the Windows fonts they were written in.
- • Printing sends the laid out page to the driver.
- • Word compatible layouts print the same as in Word.
What that means when you edit a reference
- • 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
- • Hanging indents are kept when the entry rewraps.
- • Italic journal names stay italic.
Questions people ask
+Can I fix a paper after exporting from LaTeX?
Yes, for small fixes. For big changes, recompile the source.
+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 WPS Writer?
If you still have the WPS Writer file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
