To convert a scan into a PDF using the Adobe Scan mobile application, you simply use the app to capture the document, and it is saved directly as a PDF. It's not a conversion process from one format to another after scanning; rather, the app creates the scan as a PDF from the outset.
Simple Steps to Create a PDF with Adobe Scan
Using the Adobe Scan app to turn physical documents into digital PDFs is a quick and efficient process. Follow these straightforward steps:
- Install and open Adobe Scan on your device.
- Prepare the document you wish to scan on a flat surface.
- Position your device's camera directly above the document. Hold your device steady above a file until the scan is captured. The app is designed to automatically detect the document's edges and capture the image.
- Review the captured scan. You can adjust the borders, rotate, clean up the image, or add additional pages if needed.
- Once you are satisfied with the scan(s), Tap Save PDF when you're done. This action finalizes the scan and saves it as a PDF file.
- Upon saving, You can now rename your PDF to something more descriptive than the default title.
Your newly created PDF document will typically be uploaded automatically to Adobe Document Cloud, making it accessible from other devices and Adobe services.
Managing Your Adobe Scan PDFs
After saving your scan as a PDF, the file is ready for use. You can share it via email or messaging apps, print it, or open it in other applications. The app's integration with Adobe Document Cloud provides easy access and syncing across your devices.
This process ensures that your scanned documents are immediately available in a widely compatible and easily manageable format like PDF, ideal for archiving, sharing, or further editing (if you have the necessary tools).
