Text reflow modes
Foxit Advanced PDF Editor offers three modes
for controlling the way text is reflowed during
search and replace:
• New Text Only
周is mode is useful when dealing with tabular
data, headers, footers or other single lines where retaining the original spacing and
gaps between words is important.
周e minimum reflow is done. 周e new text is left, centre or right aligned within the
space occupied by the text being replaced.
In this mode, you may end up with words printed on top of each other if the
replacement text is much longer than the original.
• Containing Line Only (default mode)
周is mode is useful when you wish to cause minimum changes to existing
paragraphs whilst ensuring changed lines blend in correctly.
Only the line(s) containing the search text will be reflowed after replacement. Lines
can be left, centre or right aligned regardless of the alignment of their paragraphs.
周e
auto
option will use the containing paragraph’s current alignment.
• Containing Paragraph
周e entire paragraph (and those near it) may be reflowed according to their current
alignment. You cannot dictate the alignment used in this mode.
If a paragraph grows longer after reflowing, some of the text may become
‘overset’ (See “Overset text” on page 55). 周is is signified by a red square on the
bottom-right edge of the text box. You may need to make the text box bigger to
accommodate the text once the search and replace is complete.
Reset Letter Spacing
When only the font is changed as a result of a search & replace operation the
existing letter spacings may not be appropriate for the new font.
Checking
Reset Letter Spacing
will cause both inter-character and inter-word spacing
to be set to 0 for every character affected.
