How to do it

1.Drop your scanned PDF into MythosPDF. The words on each page become clickable boxes.
2.Click the first word, Shift+click to extend along the line, then double click or press Enter and type the new text.
3.Press Enter to apply the change, then Export PDF.

• The rest of the line moves along and keeps its word gap.
• If the line would run off the page, the edit is refused; it never wraps onto a new line.

+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.
