Edit a Google Docs printed from a browser 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 Google Docs printed from a browser to Microsoft Print to PDF, it may hold drawn letters instead of text. MythosPDF recovers the text so you can edit it.

How Google Docs printed from a browser prints

  • • Printing a Google Doc through the browser to Microsoft Print to PDF gives a different file than Download as PDF.
  • • Google Docs uses Arial 11 by default.
  • • The page layout matches the document's page setup.

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.
