How to do it

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

• 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.

• Office multifunction printers scan at 200 to 300 dpi, often in grayscale or colour, and many can add a searchable text layer.
• Pages fed through the document feeder can come out slightly skewed.
• Even office scans give the font match plenty to work with. Very coarse scans can be refused when the redraw would not be faithful.

+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.
