Edit a Thunderbird cover letter printed to PDF
A cover letter is mostly the same from one application to the next. The parts that must change, like the date, the hiring manager, the company and the paragraph about the role, can be edited straight in the PDF. Printed from Thunderbird to Microsoft Print to PDF, it may hold drawn letters instead of text. MythosPDF recovers the text so you can edit it.

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.
