Hidden OCR text layer

  • • Scans with an invisible text layer, such as Adobe Scan files, are still treated as scans.
  • • The hidden text is updated for the words you change, so search finds the new text.

What people change in a project report

  • • Figures in tables
  • • Status and dates
  • • Wording of findings
  • • Names in the distribution list
  • • Page numbers and cover details

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.
