We have a wonderful application in the Android application store to be able to scan our documents and convert them into PDF, obtaining good quality images and optimizing their visualization with copy-shop results. To get Adobe Scan you just have to go to its section in the Android Play Store and download it. Its setup file is just under 30 MB.
How to scan documents like Adobe Scan?
To start using this application we must have an Adobe user, or connect our Facebook or Google accounts. Once connected, all you have to do is point the camera at a document and, when the blue zone detects it, it will capture it automatically, without the need for you to press the shutter. You can also capture any element that has written text You can try computer images, business cards, notes on a whiteboard (so you don't lose anything that explains the teacher), etc
If the scene where the document to be scanned is located is a bit dark, we can activate the flash to enhance the light. In addition, in the gallery button we can digitize any document, and save it in PDF format, that we have previously photographed.
Once you have made the PDF you can edit it, in case the automatic cropping doesn't satisfy you. You have different tools for this, such as corner adjustment (a magnifying glass will enlarge the document so that said adjustment is perfect), that of ordering the documents, rotate it, magic highlight wand, and a button to delete the scanned document.
Once the document is saved as a PDF we can share it through applications such as WhatsApp or open it in the Acrobat Reader application.
What's new with an application like Adobe Scan?
Unlike other similar applications, Adobe Scan offers advantages such as being able to recognize the text of any document/writing/image very effectively. For example, if we need to scan a computer screen, all we have to do is point the application's camera and it will recognize it automatically We can disable this automatic mode on the scan screen itself, in the top bar.
In addition, Adobe Scan features Optical Character Recognition technology to deliver cleaner, more enhanced text scans. Once a document is captured, it will go to the Adobe Cloud (Adobe Document Cloud) so that you have all your documents, receipts, invoices and printouts always at hand and without any danger of loss.
In this simple way you can digitize documents and convert them into PDF whenever you want. Just download Adobe Scan and start scanning. It is also free and without ads or purchases within it.
