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 edit a bullet point

  • • 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

  • • Wrapped lines stay aligned under the bullet's text, not under the marker.
  • • The bullet marker itself is kept exactly as drawn.

Questions people ask

+Can I add a new bullet?

Yes. Click a bullet and press Add below to start a new one in the same style.

+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.
