How LibreOffice Writer on Windows prints
- • Documents opened from Word keep Word's fonts when Windows has them.
- • Printing sends the laid out page to the driver.
- • Tables print as drawn lines around text.
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.
