What people change in a whitepaper

  • • Statistics and sources
  • • Publication date
  • • Author bios
  • • Calls to action and links

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 I change it everywhere at once?

Change each place it appears; each one is redrawn in its own line's 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.
