How GNOME Document Scanner scans
- • Scanning software saves the scanner's page images into a PDF, sometimes with an OCR text layer.
- • Resolution and colour mode are whatever you chose in the scan settings.
- • Scans at 300 dpi in grayscale or colour give the best results; hidden OCR layers are detected and updated.
Questions people ask
+Can I change several words at once?
Yes, if they are on the same line. Click the first word and Shift+click the last.
+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.
