Edit a scanned thesis with handwriting
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 handwriting.

Handwriting

- • Printed words on the same page can still be edited.
What people change in a thesis

- • 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.
