Adobe Scan allows users to scan physical documents and convert them into PDF files that they can access on their PC by using their phone's camera. For the best results, ensure you are in a well-lit room and that the documents being scanned are in fair condition.
How to Download and Use the Adobe Scan Application
1. Start by downloading the Adobe Scan app. You can scan a QR code from Adobe's Website, which will open the appropriate page to install the application on your phone.
2. Open the Adobe Scan app, allow the application to use your camera if prompted.
NOTE: On some devices, you may be able to select "Only while the app is in use", instead.
3. Once camera permissions are granted, the application is ready to be used.
NOTE: If you need to scan multiple pages, you can select the "Keep scanning" button, as shown above.
4. Once the document is in frame, you can click "Save PDF." This will create a PDF based off the picture taken.
5. You can click on the preview of the document to make additional changes.
NOTE: Selecting "Modify" will allow an option to retake the picture by selecting "Retake."
6. Once you are satisfied, you can select "More" to export the PDF to a different file format. Otherwise, these files are saved in the cloud and can be accessed from your Adobe Portal.
