Hidden OCR text layer

  • • Scans with an invisible text layer, such as Adobe Scan files, are still treated as scans.
  • • The hidden text is updated for the words you change, so search finds the new text.

Questions people ask

+Is the column kept straight?

The new digits are drawn where the old ones were, on the same baseline.

+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.
