How Visual Studio prints
- • Visual Studio 2022 uses Cascadia Mono by default; older versions use Consolas.
- • Printed code can include line numbers and a page header.
- • Every letter has the same width.
What that means when you edit a table cell
- • Printed tables are lines drawn around text. After recovery, rows and cells are found from those lines and the recovered words.
- • 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
- • Right aligned numbers grow to the left so columns stay lined up.
- • Longer text wraps inside the cell and the row grows.
Questions people ask
+Can I fill an empty cell?
Yes. Click inside the empty cell and type.
+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 Visual Studio?
If you still have the Visual Studio file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
