How PaperScan scans

  • • 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

+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.
