How TallyPrime prints
- • Tally prints through any Windows printer, including Microsoft Print to PDF.
- • Amounts are printed in right aligned columns, often with the rupee symbol.
- • Company details print in a header block at the top of each page.
How Microsoft Print to PDF writes the PDF
- • Depending on the app and the fonts, Microsoft Print to PDF either embeds the fonts or draws every letter as a filled shape.
- • When letters are drawn as shapes, the PDF has no text at all: you cannot select, copy or search anything on the page.
- • Letters are placed one at a time in printer units, inside a flipped page transform.
- • Thin letters such as l, i and I, and the dots of punctuation, are often collected from many lines into one shape drawn later.
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.
Good to know
- • Recovery reads Latin letters. Printouts in other scripts open, but their letters stay drawn shapes and cannot be edited yet.
- • Lookalike letters such as capital I and small l are the same shape in Arial, so check names and codes that use them.
- • A shape that cannot be read as a letter, such as a logo or an icon, stays exactly as drawn.
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.
+Will the page look different after recovery?
No. The rebuilt text uses the document's own letter outlines, and every page is compared with the original before you edit.
+Do I need TallyPrime to edit the printout?
No. MythosPDF edits the PDF itself, in your browser.
