How Apple Notes scanner scans
- • Notes scans are cropped and straightened automatically and can be shared as a PDF.
- • Phone scanners photograph the page, straighten and crop it, and save the image into a PDF.
- • Photos carry perspective, uneven light and JPEG compression, and some apps add a hidden OCR text layer.
- • Camera foreshortening is fitted as a horizontal scale on each line, and the paper grain around the word is kept, so the new word sits in the photo like the old one.
Questions people ask
+Why are scans so large?
Every page is a full picture, often in colour at high resolution.
+Do I need to convert the scan to Word first?
No. MythosPDF edits the scanned page itself. There is no conversion, so the page keeps its look.
