Text touching a line

  • • Ink joined to an underline or table border outside the edit cannot be separated cleanly.
  • • In that case the edit is refused rather than leaving a broken 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.
