Copy text from a scan in a scanned poster from an office scanner

- • Pages fed through the document feeder can come out slightly skewed.

Questions people ask
+How accurate is it?
It depends on the scan. Straight, sharp, well lit pages at 300 dpi read best.
+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.
