Make a scanned PDF searchable in a PDF on Safari

Add an invisible text layer to scanned pages so you can search and copy them. On Safari it runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install.

How to do it

1.Go to mythospdf.com in Safari and drop the PDF onto the page.
2.Add the scanned PDF.
3.Download the searchable PDF.

Tips for Safari

• Downloads go to your Downloads folder or Files.

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.
