Hi, I sometimes stumble upon an article that is either wrongly scanned, such as that the pages aren't on the correct side, and that the text also isnt editable.

Whenever i then select "Edit PDF" it resolves this for the particular page I'm on, but it doesn't do it for all of them. 

So my question; Is it possible to allign all the pages and make all pages' text editable in one go?
