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 underline text
- • Scanned pages are pictures of text. Use OCR PDF to make them searchable; typing into a scan is a separate, image based process.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • The underline follows the text's colour and position.
- • Underlines move with their words when text reflows.

+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.
