Alternatives:

  1. handling of pre-existing text
  2. handling of original embedded text
  3. handling of text input
  4. text creation handling
  5. handling of text creation
  6. text flow handling
  7. handling of source text

I am not quite sure what is best, but tend to favour 1 or 2. What do you think?
"Partially scanned PDFs" doesn't seem to be entirely correct. First of all we are not scanning. Secondly, overwriting is not handling it partially.

I would go with option 1.

I have seen other apps structure OCR preferences via "Input" vs "Output".
