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.
