Fix a typo in a scanned brochure

Brochures are tightly designed, and one shifted line shows. Editing in place changes the words you click and leaves every panel, image and colour as it was. A misspelled word on a scan used to mean retyping the whole page. Now you click the word and type the fix.

What people change in a brochure

  • • Headlines and offers
  • • Dates and event details
  • • Phone numbers, emails and web addresses
  • • Product photos
  • • Legal small print

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 fix match the printed letters?

Yes. The word is redrawn in the font identified from the same line, at the same size and ink tone.

+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.
