Edit a scanned cover letter from ScanSnap
A cover letter is mostly the same from one application to the next. The parts that must change, like the date, the hiring manager, the company and the paragraph about the role, can be edited straight in the PDF. Scanned with ScanSnap? Edit the scan directly. Sharp, evenly lit pages are the best case for redrawing a word invisibly.

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.
