How Adobe Scan scans

  • • Adobe Scan adds an invisible OCR text layer to every page. MythosPDF detects the page as a scan and updates that layer for the words you change.
  • • 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.

Tips for iPad

  • • A keyboard makes longer edits quicker; ⌘B and ⌘U work.
  • • Pinch to zoom into small text before tapping it.

Questions people ask

+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.

+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.
