Make text bold in a brochure printed to PDF
Brochures are tightly designed, and one shifted line shows. Editing in place changes the words you click and leaves every panel, image and colour as it was. If it was printed with Microsoft Print to PDF, the text may be drawn shapes. MythosPDF recovers it first, then you make text bold as usual.

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.
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.
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.
