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.

What that means when you move an image

  • • Scanned pages are pictures of text. Use OCR PDF to make them searchable; typing into a scan is a separate, image based process.
  • • On a scan the whole page is one image, so individual pictures inside it cannot be moved separately.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Moving an image does not change the text around it.
  • • Undo puts it back.

Questions people ask

+Does text wrap around moved images?

No. PDFs have no text wrap; place the image where it fits.

+Is it better to edit in scanner apps?

If you have the original scanner apps 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.
