What people change in a terms and conditions document

  • • Company name and address
  • • Effective date
  • • Clause wording
  • • Contact details

What changes on the page

  • • Digits are redrawn in the line's own font, so the new date matches the numbers around it.

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

+Can I use a different date format?

Yes, as long as the new date fits on the line. A longer date moves the rest of the line along.

+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.
