Make a scan searchable in a scanned thesis
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. Add an invisible text layer so you can search and select the words on scanned pages.

Questions people ask
+Does OCR change how the page looks?
No. The text layer is invisible and the scan stays as it is.
+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.
