Edit a scanner apps user manual PDF
Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. 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.
Swap a screenshot
Remove an outdated screenshot and add the new one in its place.
Chapters as files
Use Split PDF with custom ranges to create one file per chapter.
