How RTF viewers prints
- • Rich text files print with the fonts named inside them.
- • Formatting is simple: fonts, bold, italic and alignment.
- • Tables in rich text print as lines around text.
What that means when you make text bold
- • Bold uses the printout's own bold letters when the page has them; otherwise MythosPDF asks before imitating bold.
- • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The real bold style of the same family is used when it exists.
- • If the family has no bold, MythosPDF asks before imitating one.
Questions people ask
+Is the bold the real font?
Yes, when the family has a bold style. Otherwise you choose whether to imitate it.
+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.
+Is it better to reprint from RTF viewers?
If you still have the RTF viewers file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
