Edit a sentence in a lease agreement printed to PDF

Lease templates arrive full of blanks. Fill in the tenant and landlord names, the property, rent, deposit and dates, adjust agreed clauses, and add your signature, all before anyone prints anything. If it was printed with Microsoft Print to PDF, the text may be drawn shapes. MythosPDF recovers it first, then you edit a sentence as usual.

What that means when you edit a sentence

  • • 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.

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

+What if the new sentence is longer?

The paragraph rewraps and everything below it moves down evenly. If the page is full, the overflow continues on a new page.

+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.
