Make a scanned PDF searchable in a worksheet PDF
Teachers adapt worksheets all the time: easier numbers for one group, a new question for another. Edit the questions and instructions in the PDF instead of recreating it. Add an invisible text layer to scanned pages so you can search and copy them.
How to do it
- 1.Open OCR PDF.
- 2.Add the scanned PDF.
- 3.Download the searchable PDF.
What people change in a worksheet

What happens to the rest of the page
