- 3.Press Enter to apply the change, then Export PDF.
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
+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.
