Make a scanned PDF searchable in a PDF on iPhone
Add an invisible text layer to scanned pages so you can search and copy them. On iPhone it runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install.
How to do it
- 1.Open mythospdf.com in Safari, tap Choose a PDF and pick the file from Files or iCloud Drive.
- 2.Add the scanned PDF.
- 3.Download the searchable PDF.
Tips for iPhone
- • Turn the phone sideways for a wider page.
- • Tap text to edit; the keyboard stays below the text box.
- • Export saves to Files, where you can share it.
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.
