Office application.

Sometimes when I copy text out of a paper and paste it in a word processor, some words are misspelled that look correct on screen. Why?

Scanned PDF files have two layers to them: a display layer, which is for on-screen viewing and printing, and a hidden text layer, which Acrobat uses when you copy text from a document (it also uses this to search). When PDF files are created from scanned hard copy originals, Acrobat tries to recognize the words so it can store them in the text layer. While the software is nearly 100% accurate, it is not quite perfect and some words aren't read correctly. Occasionally these errors show up in the text layer.
