Edit a scanner apps policy document PDF
Policies are reviewed on a schedule. Update the wording, version and review date in the PDF and give approvers a precise before and after. If it was made in scanner apps, you can edit the PDF itself. Scanned pages are pictures of text. Use OCR PDF to make them searchable; typing into a scan is a separate, image based process.

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.
Before and after for approvers
Compare the revised policy with the current one; approvers see every changed word highlighted.
