How scanner apps writes PDFs
- • Scans are images of the page, sometimes with a hidden text layer from OCR.
- • The visible text is pixels, not letters.
What that means when you change the company name
- • Scanned pages are pictures of text. Use OCR PDF to make them searchable; typing into a scan is a separate, image based process.
- • scanner apps often uses fonts that are not freely available. Letters already in the PDF are reused exactly; for a letter it never used, MythosPDF asks before using the closest open font and tells you which one.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Names in headings keep the heading's size and weight.
- • Compare the result with the original to make sure no old name is left.
Questions people ask
+How do I catch every mention?
After editing, use Compare to see all changes, and search the PDF for the old name.
+Is it better to edit in scanner apps?
If you have the original scanner apps file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
