Ratings and reviews

Just downloaded and tested as an alternative to the malware-infected CamScanner, among other alternatives as well. This was by far (!) the best experience for me. Amazingly clean and neat filters remove your hand's shadow - applied automatically with no need to ask. So intuitive, just point your camera to a document and it will find its borders AND take the picture for you! Batch-mode for multiple pages into one pdf. Share easily. It really has everything I needed, and more. I think I'm in love.

Disappointing for and Adobe product! 1. Auto capture is a pain in the butt and cannot be switched off! You have to retake several times to get a good image. 2. It doesn't have an auto straightening feature, so you must hold the device perfectly perpendicular to get a straight image. 3. Images are crystal clear before capture, but blurry after. 4. User interface is not friendly - you have no idea what the icons mean and long holding on them doesn't give a description.

Can't ask for more. Fantastic and bombastic App. And, I believe as technology brings more improvements, obviously Scan.PDF will also face the demand to improve and catch up and raise the bar. There are quite a few other Apps too. But, there's no comparison between those and this, Adobe is way ahead of all. Whatever they may try but none can be able to win the race.
