copy of your PDF.
A prompt on the upper-right corner appears showing you the recognized OCR language. To change the language,
click Settings in the prompt or in the right pane. For more information about the various settings, see Options for
scanned documents editingbelow.
3 Click the text element you want to edit and start typing. New text matches the look of the original fonts in your
scanned image.
4 Choose File > Save As and type a new name for your editable document.
Options for scanned documents editing
When you open a scanned document for editing, the two scan-specific options are displayed in the right pane under
Scanned Documents:
• Settings: It shows options to change OCR language, use system fonts, and make all pages editable at one go.
• Revert Page to Image (or Convert to text): It allows switching from Text to Image or Image to Text editing mode.
Settings
Use the settings to change OCR language, choose whether to use system fonts, and make all pages editable at one go.
Click Settings in the right pane under Scanned Documents. The dialog box shows the following three settings:
• OCR language: By default the OCR language is picked from default locale.
• Use System fonts: If this option is checked, during the process of scanned to editable text conversion, the converted
text is displayed in a font that is installed on the system and is a closest match to the original font in the scanned page.
• Make all pages editable: if this option is checked, then all pages of the current document will be converted to
editable text in one go. This is a relatively slower option. Use this option only if you want to edit all pages or convert
all pages to editable text.
Initially, the language is set to the default locale and the other options are disabled. Any changes to these settings remain
persistent and are applied when you enter in the edit mode (Tools > Edit PDF).
Rotate, move, delete, and renumber PDF pages
To manipulate pages in a PDF, make sure that you have permissions to edit the PDF. To check, choose File > Properties,
and then click the Security tab. Permissions appear in the Document Restrictions Summary.
