Edit a Foxit PDF Reader employee handbook printed to PDF

Handbooks need small, careful updates: a new holiday, a changed contact, a revised policy line. Make them in the PDF and keep a precise record of the changes. Printed from Foxit PDF Reader to Microsoft Print to PDF, it may hold drawn letters instead of text. MythosPDF recovers the text so you can edit it.

How Foxit PDF Reader prints

  • • Printing through Microsoft Print to PDF rebuilds the pages as a new file.
  • • Comments print only when you choose to include them.
  • • Filled form fields become part of 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.
