Search a scanned PDF 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. 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.
What people change in a user manual

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.
