Bold, overprint & italic text
Foxit Advanced PDF Editor includes buttons to switch between normal, bold and
italic versions of a font. 周ese buttons may not operate in the manner you expect
since in some cases Foxit Advanced PDF Editor can simulate the effect required if
the appropriate font is not available.
Actual Bold
Using the
Text tool
, select some text.
Press the
Bold
button or Ctrl+B.
If the bold version of the font is available,
Foxit Advanced PDF Editor switches
fonts.
In this example, the font has changed
from
Bitstream Vera Sans
to
Bitstream Vera Sans
Bold
, both available in the PDF.
Simulated Bold
If the bold versions of the selected
characters are not available Foxit
Advanced PDF Editor will simulate bold
by overprinting the characters.
周is text, written using
Minion-
DisplayRegular

the PDF or on disc.
Pressing
Bold
causes Foxit Advanced PDF
Editor to overprint the text to simulate
the bold effect. Notice that the font name
has not changed in the font drop-down.
