Change a phone number in a scanned form
Many forms are just drawn boxes, not fillable fields. Type into their empty cells in the form's own font, sign, and send it back without printing. Replace an old phone number on a scanned flyer, letterhead or form.

- • Empty boxes and table cells
- • Placeholder text
- • Dates
- • Signature
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
+Can the number get longer?
Yes. The rest of the line moves along, as long as it stays on the page.
+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.
