You need an OCR program to be able to edit. Look at ABBYY Fine Reader - might be the best OCR out there. There are also a few free ones that you can download of the web. They don't work as well as ABBYY but it should get the job done.

If the application that you are scanning, scans in as a graphic image you will not be able to make any modifications. Check your setting and make sure that you are scanning the application in as an editable type. PDFs scanned in with an HP printer are not editable either unless you have a copy of adboe acrobat (NOT Acrobat reader!).

If that's in basic terms text cloth, that's comparatively handy. some contain a proofreader, and you will probable might desire to tell the applying what language you're utilising. this might supply it a extra helpful risk to enjoy words. lots of the applications are bigger than 80 - 85% perfect, based on the font used interior the checklist and how flat the internet site is to the scanner mattress. you will have the potential to might desire to edit it to make it thoroughly precise. once you have snap photos as solid as text cloth, maximum OCR applications assist you to choose the quantity of formatting saved. This additionally demands which you purely shop the checklist in a snap photos shape that keeps the formatting. the objective which you will no longer edit it from a straightforward test is that as quickly as you test it, that's comfortably a photographic representation of the checklist, with out an information as to what the characters are. you want the OCR to transform it from a photograph to a checklist.

you can scan it, then use ocr, and then put in the text boxes. Once you have the text boxes you can fill in the information and then save it.
