Edit a Notepad++ worksheet printed to PDF
Teachers adapt worksheets all the time: easier numbers for one group, a new question for another. Edit the questions and instructions in the PDF instead of recreating it. Printed from Notepad++ to Microsoft Print to PDF, it may hold drawn letters instead of text. MythosPDF recovers the text so you can edit it.

- • Headers and footers can show the file name, date and 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 students fill it in online?
They can open it in MythosPDF and type into empty table cells.
