Change a percentage in a scanned thesis
A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. Update a figure or percentage on a scanned report or handout.

What people change in a thesis
- • Typos and small corrections
- • Page numbers from the first chapter
- • Signed approval page
- • File size for the repository
Good to know
- • Changes replace words within one line. A longer replacement moves the rest of that line along; adding new lines or deleting words is not available on scans.
- • Handwriting, and print in a font that cannot be identified, cannot be redrawn, so the edit is refused.
- • If the new text would touch a stamp, signature or line, MythosPDF refuses instead of smudging it.
- • Text is read in English, so other scripts are not editable on scans yet.
Questions people ask
+Does the % sign stay?
Type the whole value including the sign; it is drawn in the same font.
+What if a word cannot be changed invisibly?
You get the exact reason, such as a stamp in the way or a font that could not be identified, instead of a smudged page.
