This Adobe scanning app used to be very good. Recent updates have definitely elevated it to great! The main highlights at least how I have used it or that you just tap on the screen when your document is in view and the app along with what I presume is augmented reality technology using my iPhone 11 Pro Max cameras setup, automatically adjusts the the size of the scanning area to the corners of the document or paper you are scanning. In other words, it detects the size of the paper no matter how close your camera is to it, and crops out the document automatically, all with just one tap of the screen! I would guess this works on all iPhones too, as I had a 7 plus that I tested the app on; also did a pretty good job automatically detecting the document size. The ability to detect text is definitely a bonus, and it’s been pretty accurate for me but since I mainly use this application for scanning sheet music charts, I don’t often use text detection. Great for scanning receipts or forms though too, whenever I may need to use that feature, say, instead of having to 1: print out a form, 2: fill it out with pen, 3: scan it to a computer, 4: FAX it to another place or person. Instead of all those steps, I just tap my phone screen, it scans, and then I’m free to just email the scan!Amazing, the recent updates made it even quicker and actually a lot of fun to use, and very useful and intuitive for all types of uses.Thanks! Hope this makes sense and helps someone!

As far as products that are free through Iniversities and up to an amount as individual personal accounts there isn’t any other way u will get the OCR accuracy that will auto save to an amazing platform to do with as you please. I agree the Document auto sensor takes a pretty good amount of pics before u r ready leaving you with extra steps to delete the ones u do not need , I recommend placing your phone at a fixed angle with whatever you want as long as it’s overhead the documents you will be scanning for actual paper imag scans and it will definitely speed up all the filing of important documents one may save like resumes, Fingerprint Clearence Card Images, aEmployment Related Documentts, Bank and Finance Contracts, Titles, Registration tooo Vehicles, Health Records, and such you will have what you need at the tip of your finger to assist and print off if necessary or attach too email too someone be , some place , Human Resources, ai even keep a copy of My aGn Permits and Concealed Carry just in case it was ever necessary in public. Much more you can do and touch up if u have Adobe Photoshop Skills or a numerous amount of mage creation and automation applications as well all the way to basic photo capturing on a DSLR uploaded photos onto your Laptop and then your really in luck if you understand the sucrinicity and have an understanding or history of photography then Adobe is your one stop shop as well that’s a given. Anyways you won’t be disappointed and it’s all easy to learn these days with online resources.

The software is free, more intricate than it may seem, easy to use, and is backed by the comittment of Adobe, Inc. Product continues to improve, and combined with Acrobat or other Adobe iPad Pro apps, just about as good for someone who preserves, categorizes, presents, and shares documents after easy editing and repesoitory in the Creative or Document clouds. In the end, its user choice, with some good alternatives, but this has long term potential and integration is important for ease of use and quality control. I always return to Adobe Scan after trying everything else new. The developers I believe, will maintain their pride in applying knowledge from so many areas within Adobe, that it will become a “Professional” Standard in not too long. Enjoy watching techology change at an accelerating pace. We are envisioning capabilities as though they will come to fuition in a year, but what we can only imagine now, is already very likely a reaity in the making all around us. Thanks Adobe.DDoherty

I recently refinanced my home thru a virtual mortgage co. using electronic document exchange & signing as preferred by my company & many others, allowing and immediacy of interaction and environmental responsibility.I was very worried that I’d be unable to do the scanning, signing, and uploading with just my iPad mini and iPhone 7 Plus. I had no funds fora new “real” computer & feared id have to drive from my rural home to the nearest town everyday to have a business do the scanning for the process.Adobe was recommended by my refi' co' to allow glich-free document exchange by any parties in the transaction. I used a reputable scanning app I was already familiar with until (perhaps queued by Adobe acrobat) I spotted the Adobe Scan app I had downloaded but not yet tried. WHAT an improvement was my experience using Adobe Scan! I simply laid my papers in a row along a solid colored floor runner and stepped sideways click clicking away at doc's up to 27 pages long. The app scanned so well, I could hardly step to the next page before Adobe Scan had the previous page formatted. Yet like some apps, A'S' did not close a doc' if I had a short delay between pages. The few bad scans were easily deleted at anytime during the procedure.I am happy to tell you I succeeded refinancing my home using only an iPad Mini 2 and iPhone 7 Plus, with the exception of closing day, when the co's closing agent sat in my living room to witness and notarize my signatures for final settlement.

I’ve been using the app for years and a while ago it deleted all the cloud files I had. It was a huge loss but luckily even if the scans were gone the images were still auto saved to another folder in my images app. It’s annoying to have to recrop each photo and adjust the light settings all over again but it’s not as big of a loss as I initially thought. It’s a fantastic scanner and as for allowing an easy transition from traditional art to digital it’s allowed me to bridge the gap between two worlds that were before entirely separate. Now instead of taking hours to trace on top of photos for illustrator files I can make a couple task sketches and scan the best, then clean up in PS and use the image trace function to create vector shapes. It has small bugs in terms of storage but it might also have to do with me switching Adobe plans or the email I had connected to the account. It’s overall fantastic and has completely changed how I approach my workflow in a very positive way with just a few minor hiccups. I highly recommend it under the condition that you immediately save every new scan and original image external to acrobat as a precaution. Otherwise it’s amazing to no longer need a bulky scanner.

I chose to ignore Adobe’s prompting that I upgrade to AdobeScan from the scanning feature included with the Adobe PDF app for a while, because when I’d tried it, it had “grabbed” the document it was supposed to scan as if on some sort of fast-forward setting and estimated the location of the document’s edges incorrectly. It also didn’t take enough time to get a properly-focussed (spelling intentional) image. I’d realized that I needed to figure out how to perform the scan manually, in order to get it precise enough, or find another scanning app. During a later attempt, I was relieved when I was prompted to disable the psychotic-seeming autoscan setting — imagine a coworker coming to your desk and frantically dishevelling a neat pile of paper documents sitting on it while you watch — which I’d never chosen to activate to begin with. With that setting shut off, however, the app still doesn’t “find” the document’s edges as precisely as I’d like. It gives you the option of adjusting its placement of them yourself; however, I preferred the scanning feature of the Adobe PDF app to this separate, supposedly-superior Adobe Scan app.

AdobeScan is my go-to app if I need multiple images into a pdf, which is often the case for my school submissions. I think the default scan filter can be a bit finicky depending on how dark you write, but you can go into the filters and change it back to the original color and then it’s perfect. Pros: -Can scan directly through the app, or upload photos you already took/images you already have.-Very concise cropping of images, not just sliding of sides horizontally or vertically but also changing corners of where you crop for accuracy -Auto crop feature is pretty good for doing it automatically/quickly even if it isn’t perfect-Multiple scan settings. I think it has one for open books among others. I haven’t checked that out in full detail though.Cons:-Default scanner is picky about how dark you write -I haven’t found a default setting to use the original color every time, so I’ve had to change filters manually every time. It’s a bit annoying, but not a dealbreaker for me.-I have shaky hands and it requires a still photo, which can sometimes be an issue depending on how bad my tremor is that day. I would appreciate something like the “live photo” setting on Apple that shows the best image over a small timeframe.Overall AdobeScan is the most universal scanner across file types while also being not too basic or complicated. Despite the cons, it’s the best scanner I’ve found hence the 5/5 rating. Hope this review is helpful

Incredibly handy, effective, and helpful. Take a moment how to learn how to use this app/software, and you won’t be disappointed. I’m not even super techy and it wasn’t hard to operate. I really could go on and on, but give it a try and you’ll definitely see yourself, especially if you’re a regular desktop to PC scanner. Ahhhhhmazing! If you don’t have access to a desktop scanner, or can’t get yours up and running, or on the go and can’t get to one and need to scan something, this is hands down one handy app. For personal or business use, it’s going to deliver. With this app on the go, you could literally work from the tailgate of your truck if you had to. It’s actually so cool and easy, it makes you want to scan stuff that you’d normally not, or put off. If you can hold your tablet or phone steady for pictures, then you can scan with this. Not to mention all the extra tools and features. As always, through the decades of use, Adobe continues to deliver and stay up on top of the technology game.

I have used several PDF file conversion tools. I have used the native one in Apple notes. I have also used the native one in Microsoft OneDrive cloud services, because they also allow you to scan multiple pages without stopping, amongst others, including Microsoft Lens and others. I do not know why I have passed on downloading this one before, but I did.So I didn’t think I need to download this, but I was bored and I did. And I’m very happy. My grandmother is 88, and she just had to go to a nursing home, and I am having to scan all of her documents, insurance cards and you name it. And thank goodness I downloaded this application because it gets it right on the first time. It’s free, and ad free, and I’m very grateful that I downloaded it and thankful to the programmers at Adobe for making it free, and simple enough to handle (what would otherwise be kind of considered as “big jobs”) what most people would ever need. Verdict — simple, free, user friendly, and requires no jumping through hoops, etc. works for me! Thank you Adobe.

I work outside my physical office many days of the week and find this has been an awesome tool that I can use anywhere to document transactions, take pictures of signed documents, checks that I write, letters that I receive, or simply anything at all that I want to document for later records or proof of events. I can photograph flat objects like documents, any kind of paper, even 3-D items I want to remember. I can photograph people and/or places and just click the button and I have a PDF record of the transaction, the person(s), the place where something happened or even a scenic shot.i can access the PDF documents from the cloud wherever I am, and using Adobe Professional Version add text, images, diagrams, notes or even other images and then easily distribute by email to friends, family or colleagues. Makes the job of documenting business or pleasure a breeze! I highly recommend it for anyone who works in the field, out of the office, or from a home office.
