Adobe Scan: PDF & OCR Scanner 4+

Great for anyone who wants to get paper to digital with as all Adobe tools.

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.

Hi, Thank you for being an Adobe customer. It is greatly appreciated! 😃 👍 ^SS✨

A few bugs but overall a game changer.

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.

"Uh oh! That's not ideal. I apologize for the trouble. Let us help make this right.
Solution 1: Adobe Scan files are saved automatically in the Document Cloud. Log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/ using your Adobe Scan credentials. Then go to Files - Document Cloud - Adobe Scan folder. Check if you can find the files there. If the files are deleted from Document Cloud, then it is impossible to recover them.
If that does not work and you're using your Apple ID, try Solution 2:
1. Go to the home screen/recent screen (that has the scans listed).
2. Tap on the profile icon on the top left.
3. On the top, the email id/login in with which you are logged in would be displayed. Confirm if this is the same email ID that you used to create the scans earlier.
4. If the answer is yes, log out and then choose the option to sign in via Apple ID.
5. Use the same email address that was displayed in step 4 to log in via Apple ID.
Note: If you are not uploading the files to Adobe Document Cloud or saving it to any other location, then the files will be removed permanently and there is not much that can be done to recover the files from Adobe's end.
Solution 3: Uninstall your app and restart your device. Reinstall your app and see if your files appear in your app.
That should do the trick, but feel free to write us back if you need anything else! Thanks for being an awesome customer. :) SS

Privacy problems.

I tried to submit a privacy question. After I had already successfully logged into my Adobe account , I had to correctly solve a captcha,Provide my email address and name again, probably verify my address, submit my question and then solve a second captcha correctly. Asked: I am wondering about your privacy policy as a relates to documents scanned with Adobe Scan - your iOS mobile pdf scanning app. I’ve been looking through your policies to try and find a clear statement that you’re not going to look at or share of my scanned documents unless required by law. And that that applies whether I’m in the US or UK at the time. can you make such a statement? Can you please make it easier to find if you’ve made such a statement? And refer me too it/them? I have opted out of the machine learning part but that doesn’t address my question really. Also it’s pretty low to make it so hard to submit questions like this! I’m already logged in and I have to give you all my information all over again and validate my email address? Do you think that’s respectful? I’m trying to decide between using your product and camscanner or neither. and when you reply please include this question in your reply. OK? And can you answer the same questions for Adobe acrobat reader PDF maker iOS app?I hope they respond and I’ll update this if they do!
