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 a percentage
- • Scanned pages are pictures of text. Use OCR PDF to make them searchable; typing into a scan is a separate, image based process.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Numbers inside chart labels can be edited; the chart's bars and lines are drawings and do not change.
- • The percent sign keeps the same font as the digits.
Questions people ask
+Can I change a chart?
Only its text labels. Bars and lines are drawn shapes.
+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.
