Smartphones are getting better with time. In fact, they deserve the title of being called a mobile computer instead of a smartphone. You can literally do anything that a computer does and more. We never thought that a smartphone can scan documents and create robust pdf versions of them easily. However, apps like Camscanner and Microsoft Lens made it possible and now there’s one more app from the people who gave pdf format the popularity they are enjoying right now – Adobe.

Called the Adobe Scan, the app can help both Android and iOS users enjoy scanning documents on their smartphones from photographs. Now you may think that how is it any different from existing scanning apps like Camscanner and Microsoft Lens. The differentiating feature between this and the others is that it can sharpen the scanned content and touch up scans or photos from your camera roll. Users can scan multiple-page documents and then save the scans as PDF files with the help of Adobe Scan app. Another great feature offered by the app is text recognition, which allows users to scan images into editable documents and can come in handy for working professionals as well as students.

You can also use the Adobe Document Cloud for easy online sharing of files. It also connects you to the world’s best document services that let you do more with your PDFs – Edit, convert to Microsoft Office, fill and sign, and send for tracked signatures.
