About this app

The Adobe Scan scanner app turns your device into a powerful portable scanner that recognises text automatically (OCR) and allows you to save to multiple file formats including PDF and JPEG.

The most intelligent scanner app. Scan anything — receipts, notes, documents, photos, business cards, whiteboards — with text you can reuse from each PDF and photo scan.

HOW IT WORKS
• With the Adobe Scan scanner app, you can make anything scannable.
• Use the PDF scanner to quickly create a photo scan or PDF scan.

CAPTURE
• Scan anything with precision with this mobile PDF scanner.
• Advanced image technology automatically detects borders, sharpens scanned content, and recognises text (OCR).

ENHANCE
• Touch up scans or photos from your camera roll.
• Whether it’s a PDF or photo scan, you can preview, reorder, crop, rotate, and adjust colour.

CLEANUP UP YOUR SCANS
• Remove and edit imperfections, erase stains, marks, creases, even handwriting.

REUSE
• Turn your photo scan into a high-quality Adobe PDF that unlocks text through automated text recognition (OCR).
• Reuse text from each PDF scan thanks to OCR.

SCAN ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME
• Capture forms, receipts, notes, and business cards with this mobile PDF scanner.
• The Adobe Scan scanner app even lets you scan multi-page documents and save with a single tap.

RECYCLE CONTENT
• The Adobe Scan PDF scanner makes any content scannable and reusable.
• Free, built-in optical character recognition (OCR) lets you reuse scanned text and content by creating a high-quality PDF you can work with in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app.
• You can even turn Adobe Scan into a tax receipt scanner to highlight expenses with ease.

QUICKLY FIND DOCUMENTS IN PHOTO LIBRARY
• This powerful scanner app automatically finds documents and receipts in your photos and turns them into PDF scans, so you don't have to.
• Automatic OCR turns text into content you can edit, resize, and reuse in other documents.

SAVE BUSINESS CARDS TO CONTACTS
• Scan a business card and Adobe Scan turns into a fast business card scanner and reader.
• Contact information will be automatically extracted so you can quickly add to your device contacts — no typing needed.

GET MORE DONE ON THE GO
• Save each scan to Adobe Document Cloud for instant access and sharing.
• Even lengthy legal documents become manageable and scannable with the Adobe Scan scanner app, which lets you search, select, and copy text.
• You can also open a PDF scan in Acrobat Reader to highlight key sections, add comments, fill and sign.

IN-APP PURCHASE
Subscribe for even more scanning power. Subscriptions work across Scan and Reader mobile apps and Acrobat on the web.
• Combine scans into one file so you can take multiple scans and consolidate into one document.
• Export PDFs to Microsoft Word or PowerPoint file formats to integrate with your workflows.
• Increase OCR capacity from 25 to 100 pages so that you can find text in multiple scans.

App used to load very quickly. Newest version is slow to respond and now requires a login. App used to be my go to for mobile document scanning, guess I'll just have to go back to using my PC to convert jpeg files into searchable PDF files. Way to ruin a great app Adobe! Update, i work in IT, I've already done that. How about you come with something more useful.

Hi there! Sorry, you're having trouble! Adobe Scan sends crash reports to Adobe in case the app closes unexpectedly. By default, the app automatically sends a crash report each time it encounters a crash. Please ensure the setting is enabled so our team can fix it as soon as you face such issues. Thanks! SS

Marginal quality, to poor, in free edition. IDK if a subscription version is better, but many businesses want the subscription model in hopes of more profit & endless payments. I hate that & avoid "subscriptions " where possible. I used a free scanner & got better and faster results, I did Adobe 2x & some was still blurry, it was slow, etc.
