How do I edit a scan of an old document typed on typewriters? I have it in JPG and in PDF.

If you want to scan to PDF, even without a camera, you need an app that can input .JPG or .PNG files at the bare minimum, and convert into PDF documents. Some apps will force you to make separate PDF documents for each file, or t will make it hard for you to share the PDF once it is created, in order to entice you into signing up for an expensive subscription. I am on the Kdan team, and I’d like to recommend PDF Reader by Kdan Mobile. It’s the free PDF editor that over 50 million people use every day to manage their documents from start to finish. You can use its great media picker to choose photos, word and excel documents, iWork, presentations, and more, and convert it all to PDF, with automatic edge recognition, filters, optical character recognition for searchable PDF documents, and more. After you have created your free PDF document, you can also annotate, edit, highlight, add stickers or other attachments for free. If you want, you can convert it to a fillable form, and send to your colleagues to fill and sign, and track it along the way, with legally enforceable digital signature platform DottedSign.
