How to do it
- 1.Drop your scanned PDF into MythosPDF. The words on each page become clickable boxes.
- 2.Click the first word, Shift+click to extend along the line, then double click or press Enter and type the new text.
- 3.Press Enter to apply the change, then Export PDF.
Longer replacement text
- • The rest of the line moves along and keeps its word gap.
- • If the line would run off the page, the edit is refused; it never wraps onto a new line.
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.
