A scanned document is technically a flat image. If you want to edit this document you will need to use something called OCR scanning (Optical Character Recognition). This software can capture computerised text that is legible and convert into text searchable PDF's for example.

You can edit it by using OCR (optical character recognition) when scanning. This allows the scan to be seen as text and then it can be edited just like any other document.

You need to rescan the page and read with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to convert the pictures of the letters into digital characters the computer can edit.
