Edit a scanned thesis with bold or heading text

A thesis goes through several final touches: a typo found at the last minute, numbering that must start after the front matter, a signed approval page to insert and a repository file size limit. Here is what happens with a scanned thesis with bold or heading text.

Bold or heading text

  • • Stroke weight is fitted from the line, so bold print stays bold.
  • • Size is measured from the letters, so headings keep their size.

What people change in a thesis

  • • Typos and small corrections
  • • Page numbers from the first chapter
  • • Signed approval page
  • • File size for the repository

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.
