What people change in a policy document
- • Policy text
- • Version number
- • Owner and approver
- • Review and effective dates
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
+Will the address become a link?
No. On a scan it is part of the picture of the page, so it stays printed text.
+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.
