Edit a scanned employee handbook when the new text is longer

Handbooks need small, careful updates: a new holiday, a changed contact, a revised policy line. Make them in the PDF and keep a precise record of the changes. Here is what happens with a scanned employee handbook when the new text is longer.

Longer replacement text

  • • 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.

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.
