Adobe Scan is an Android application that allows you to turn your smartphone or tablet into a portable scanner. Using the device’s built-in camera, you can create a digital copy of any document. It is possible to save one in PDF format for further work and editing.
Start
The utility allows you to use your mobile device to scan anything to PDF. Then, you may access the PDFs anytime from Adobe Cloud storage. You can start your journey by creating a new account or signing in. There is an option to sign up with Google, Apple, and Facebook accounts.
Scanning Technology
There are special image processing algorithms that increase the resolution and quality of the original document. This feature allows you to determine the boundaries and fit the paper to the required format.
In addition, you can get a clear scan thanks to analyses of printed characters. This algorithm determines image pixels of insufficient quality and applies graphic interpolation to them.
Text Recognition
Similar to One Scanner, Adobe Scan provides a text recognition function. Thus, the app converts all areas of printed documents into electronic format. The utility automatically selects text fragments that can be copied and edited.
You can save the ready-made PDF file to the device’s memory or cloud storage. In some cases, it is possible to export content in Microsoft office document formats.
