Photocopy of a photocopy

  • • Copies of copies add noise and thicken letters, which makes the font harder to identify.
  • • When the font cannot be matched with confidence, the edit is refused instead of guessed.

What people change in a syllabus

  • • Term dates and schedule
  • • Room and office hours
  • • Reading list
  • • Grading table
  • • Contact 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.
