How Adobe Acrobat Reader prints
- • Printing a PDF to Microsoft Print to PDF makes a brand new PDF from the printed pages.
- • Print as image in the advanced options turns each page into a picture, which behaves like a scan.
- • Form fields print as they appear, flattened into the page.
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.
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.
+Can I add a revision table row?
Yes. Insert a row in the revision history table.
