New letters in Microsoft Sans Serif
- • Letters that are already on the page are reused exactly as printed, in the printout's own shapes.
- • Microsoft Sans Serif is not an open font. For a letter the printout never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.
How MythosPDF makes a Microsoft Print to PDF file editable
- • The page is read with OCR, then every word is matched to the letter shapes that draw it.
- • Letters are grouped into fonts by their outlines and size, so bold, regular and heading text stay apart.
- • The typeface is identified from letter widths and shapes, and each line gets its real baseline.
- • The page is rebuilt with text fonts made from the document's own letter outlines, so it looks exactly as printed.
- • Every rebuilt letter is checked against the original position, and the page is compared pixel by pixel before you edit.
Good to know
- • Recovery reads Latin letters. Printouts in other scripts open, but their letters stay drawn shapes and cannot be edited yet.
- • Lookalike letters such as capital I and small l are the same shape in Arial, so check names and codes that use them.
- • A shape that cannot be read as a letter, such as a logo or an icon, stays exactly as drawn.
Questions people ask
+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.
+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.
