Make a scan searchable in a scanned PDF on iPhone
Add an invisible text layer so you can search and select the words on scanned pages. On iPhone it runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install.
How to do it
- 1.Open OCR PDF.
- 2.Add the scanned PDF.
- 3.Download the searchable PDF.
Tips for iPhone
- • Turn the phone sideways for a wider page.
- • Tap text to edit; the keyboard stays below the text box.
- • Export saves to Files, where you can share it.
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.
