How to do it

  1. 1.Drop your scanned PDF into MythosPDF. The words on each page become clickable boxes.
  2. 2.Click the first word, Shift+click to extend along the line, then double click or press Enter and type the new text.
  3. 3.Press Enter to apply the change, then Export PDF.

Longer replacement text

  • • The rest of the line moves along and keeps its word gap.
  • • If the line would run off the page, the edit is refused; it never wraps onto a new line.

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

+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.

+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.
