How to do it

Faded print
- • The ink tone is measured from the existing words, so the new word is just as faint.
- • The new word must still be read back correctly by OCR, or the edit is refused.
How HP Smart app scans
- • HP Smart can scan from a printer or from the phone camera and save as PDF.
- • Scanning software saves the scanner's page images into a PDF, sometimes with an OCR text layer.
- • Resolution and colour mode are whatever you chose in the scan settings.
- • Scans at 300 dpi in grayscale or colour give the best results; hidden OCR layers are detected and updated.
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.
