Low resolution

  • • The line's existing words are redrawn as a test first.
  • • If they cannot be redrawn closely enough, the edit is refused. Rescan at 300 dpi for the best results.

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.
