- 3.Press Enter to apply the change, then Export PDF.
Uneven lighting or shadows
- • The paper tone is estimated from the paper right around the word.
- • The erased area is filled to match a shaded or bright patch, not a flat white.
How VueScan 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
+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.
