Description

Adobe Scan is free to download and turns your mobile device into a powerful scanner that recognises text automatically (OCR) and allows you to create, save, and organise your paper documents as a digital file.

Scan anything — receipts, notes, ID cards, recipes, photos, business cards, whiteboards — and turn them into PDF or JPEG files you can work with on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

HOW IT WORKS
• Scan any document and convert to PDF or photo.
• Get perfect scans of book and magazine pages with Straighten in Book Mode.
• Quickly scan and save your important documents to Dropbox or Google Drive so you can access and share them wherever you are.
• Adjust the brightness and contrast of your scans in just a few taps.

CAPTURE
• Scan anything with precision with this mobile PDF scanner.
• Advanced image technology automatically detects borders, sharpens scanned content, and recognises text (OCR).

ENHANCE
• NEW: Edit in Scan feature allows you to edit your scans.
• Preview, reorder, crop, rotate, resize, and adjust color in PDF or photo scans.
• Remove and edit imperfections, erase stains, marks, creases, even handwriting.

ORGANISE
• Capture forms, receipts, notes, ID cards, health documents, and business cards and organise into custom folders so they are easy to access and find.
• Contact information will be automatically extracted so you can quickly add to your device contacts — no typing needed. You can even highlight expenses on tax receipts with ease.

QUICKLY FIND DOCUMENTS IN PHOTO LIBRARY
• This powerful scanner app automatically finds documents and receipts in your photos and turns them into PDF scans, so you don't have to.
• Touch up scans or photos from your camera roll.

REUSE
• Turn your scan into a high-quality Adobe PDF that unlocks text for reuse through automated text recognition (OCR).
• Automatic OCR turns text into content you can edit, resize, and reuse in other documents.

SCAN ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
• The Adobe Scan scanner app even lets you scan multi-page documents and save with a single tap.
• Even lengthy legal documents become manageable and scannable with the Adobe Scan scanner app, which lets you search, select, and copy text.

DO MORE WITH ACROBAT
• You can also open a PDF scan in Acrobat Reader to highlight key sections, add comments, fill and sign documents.
• Free, built-in optical character recognition (OCR) lets you reuse scanned text and content to work with in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

IN-APP PURCHASE
• Subscribe for even more scanning power. Subscriptions work across Scan and Reader mobile apps and Acrobat on the web.
• Combine scans into one file so you can take multiple scans and consolidate into one document.
• Export PDFs to Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file formats to repurpose or reformat your documents.
• Increase OCR capacity from 25 to 100 pages so that you can find text in multiple scans.

Download the free mobile scanner to convert important photos and documents into PDF and JPEG files to help you stay organised. Adobe Scan is the PDF converter trusted by millions worldwide.

Adobe Scan Pain Points

I’m a premium subscriber and here is the major pain points of using Adobe Scan. While the features are good, there’s a number of serous issues that need attending to.
1. This is, no doubt, the slowest loading app on iOS. It take more than 15 seconds to load any file and even longer to modify a file. I upgraded to premium thinking that it will be better and I was wrong.
2. A few days ago I lost a Project Invoices file when I was trying to edit it and when I pressed save I got an “unable to save “ message. I then tried to find the file again for a second attempt but the file has disappeared. I can’t even find the original file. There is no file recovery feature.

3. At times it, outright, refuses to allow you edit your files. Although this is not as bad as it once was but it still happens occasionally.

4. You can not access your files offline. The app does not create local backup that can be accessed when you don’t have internet connection.

Developer Response ,

Hi, Thanks for your feedback! We're here to help.
1. Regarding the lag in the app, the following steps can help:
- Update the app to the latest version. We've taken care of this bug in the latest release.
- Remove other apps and web browsers open in the background. They may slow down your phone.
- Close the app from the app switcher, then re-launch it.
2. Uh oh! That's not ideal. I apologize for the trouble. Let us help make this right.
- Log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com using the same account that you log in to Scan with. Tap "Documents" > "Adobe Scan". Your files should be there.
- Uninstall your app and restart your device. Then, reinstall your app and see if your files appear in your app.
3. You cannot modify scanned files which have been altered outside of Adobe Scan. For example, if you have opened a scan in Acrobat and have added comments, added attachments, organized pages, and so on, Adobe Scan will not be able to modify that file.
4. To save your scans to the default location, tap "Save PDF" on the top right of your screen>More>Copy to device. You can then access your scans on My Files>Documents>Internal Storage>Documents>Adobe Scan.
That should do the trick, but feel free to write us back if you need anything else! We're here for you. :) ^SG
