How Microsoft Access prints
- • Reports print field values into fixed boxes laid out in the report designer.
- • Totals and page numbers print as text computed at print time.
- • Nothing links back to the database once printed.
What that means when you edit the footer
- • 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
- • Footers are separate text on every page. Edit each page's copy.
- • Footer text never moves into the body when you edit it.
Questions people ask
+Is there one footer for all pages?
In a PDF, no. Each page has its own copy.
+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 Access?
If you still have the Microsoft Access file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
