Fix a typo in printed Comic Sans MS text

A single wrong letter is the most common reason to edit a PDF. Fixing it should change that letter and nothing else. In a Microsoft Print to PDF file, Comic Sans MS letters are often drawn shapes. MythosPDF turns them back into Comic Sans MS text before you edit.

New letters in Comic Sans MS

  • • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed.
  • • Comic Relief is an open font with the same letter widths as Comic Sans MS. For a letter the printout never used, MythosPDF uses the twin when it recognises the face, and otherwise asks before using the closest open font.

What that means when you fix a typo

  • • 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.

Questions people ask

+Will fixing one letter move the rest of the paragraph?

Only if the word gets wider or narrower. Then the words after it on that line shift by exactly the difference, and nothing else moves.

+Will the page look different after recovery?

No. The rebuilt text uses the document's own letter outlines, and every page is compared with the original before you edit.
