Edit scanned meeting minutes
Minutes are circulated as PDFs and corrected before approval. Fix a name, a decision or an action item's owner without regenerating the document. If all you have is a scan, you can still change it: click the words on the page and type.

How MythosPDF edits a scan directly
- • Words are found from the ink on the page with OCR, not from a scanner's hidden text layer, which often drifts.
- • The font of the line is identified from the letter shapes, together with size, stroke weight and slant of the photo.
- • Only the pixels of the words you change are redrawn, in the page's own ink tone, with the surrounding paper grain kept.
- • The rest of the page image stays byte for byte the same, and any hidden OCR layer is updated so search finds the new words.
- • Each edit is read back by OCR and checked for ghosts of the old ink before you see it.
Good to know
- • Changes replace words within one line. A longer replacement moves the rest of that line along; adding new lines or deleting words is not available on scans.
- • Handwriting, and print in a font that cannot be identified, cannot be redrawn, so the edit is refused.
- • If the new text would touch a stamp, signature or line, MythosPDF refuses instead of smudging it.
- • Text is read in English, so other scripts are not editable on scans yet.
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.
