Replace a photo in a business card printed to PDF

Business card PDFs are print ready files. Change your title or phone number in place so the file stays ready for the printer. If it was printed with Microsoft Print to PDF, the text may be drawn shapes. MythosPDF recovers it first, then you replace a photo as usual.

What people change in a business card

  • • Name and title
  • • Phone and email
  • • Website
  • • QR code image

What that means when you replace a photo

  • • Pictures in a printout stay images and can be changed. A logo the app drew as shapes is drawing, not a picture, and stays as printed.
  • • 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

+Will the new photo be cropped?

No. Resize it to fit the space you want.

+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.
