Make a scanned PDF searchable in a Stripe PDF
Add an invisible text layer to scanned pages so you can search and copy them. This works on the PDF Stripe exported, so you do not need the original file.
How to do it
- 1.Open the PDF exported from Stripe in MythosPDF.
- 2.Add the scanned PDF.
- 3.Download the searchable PDF.
How Stripe writes PDFs
- • Invoice and quote PDFs are generated from templates.
- • Amounts sit in right aligned columns.
What that means when you make a scanned PDF searchable
- • Edit only your own drafts and quotes; amounts keep their alignment.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The scan image is kept as it is; the text layer is added on top.
- • Accuracy depends on scan quality.
Questions people ask
+Does OCR change how the page looks?
No. The text layer is invisible.
+Is it better to edit in Stripe?
If you have the original Stripe 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.
