Search a scanned PDF 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. Make Ctrl+F work on scanned pages.
How to do it
- 1.Open OCR PDF.
- 2.Add the scanned PDF.
- 3.Download it and search with Ctrl+F or ⌘F.

Questions people ask
+Why does search find nothing now?
A scan is a picture of text. OCR adds the words as invisible text so search can find them.
+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.
