Edit Scanned PDF FAQ
How do I edit a PDF that is just a scanned image?
Open it in peadf and run the built-in OCR when prompted. The text on the scan becomes editable lines you can click and retype, with the edit blended onto the page.
Is the scan uploaded for OCR?
No. OCR runs inside your browser using your own device, so the document never touches a server.
