Make a scan searchable in a scanned user manual
Manuals are long and change in small ways: a menu name, a version number, a support email. Fix those in the PDF and split the manual into chapters if people need only part of it. Add an invisible text layer so you can search and select the words on scanned pages.
How to do it
- 1.Open OCR PDF.
- 2.Add the scanned PDF.
- 3.Download the searchable PDF.
What people change in a user manual
- • Version and date on the cover
- • Step instructions
- • Menu and button names
- • Support contact details
- • Screenshots
Details
- • Up to 20 scanned pages are recognised at a time.
- • Pages that already have real text are skipped.
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.
