The new Straighten tool fixes pages that come out curved or tilted while you scan. It lines everything up automatically so when you make PDFs, they look neat and professional, with no extra steps needed.

The document scanner in your pocket.


Adobe Scan is free to download and turns your mobile device into a powerful PDF maker and document scanner that helps you create, save, and organize your paper documents as digital files.

3) Ask AI Assistant to pull the key points from any scan, get follow-up answers or draft emails, reports, and next steps from your scan.

4) Use Generative summary: One tap pulls the key points from any scan, so you can find what matters and summarize your docs in a tap with AI.

Garbage page detection. App should be really good, but trying to scan multiple pages in a document wastes more time than it would save. The app searches for pages to scan but it will take basically anything: your hand, the floor, a blurry picture of a coffee mug... it snaps anything and moves to the next page. It ruins any document you're trying to scan by taking a bunch of useless pictures. If you can get it to actually take a picture of a page then it's great.

Hi there! Sorry for the trouble with page detection. We understand how frustrating that can be. The app uses auto-capture by default, which may misidentify objects. You can turn it off by tapping Autoscan (left of the capture button). Manual mode gives better control. We're working to improve detection. Thanks for your input! ^SS

Adobe PDF Scanner is simply fantastic. The scan quality is truly stunning, producing incredibly clear and crisp PDFs. Beyond just scanning, the app is loaded with editing options to refine your documents. Plus, the 2GB of free cloud backup is a huge bonus. If you need a PDF scanner, this is a must-have. Highly recommend!

There's no other app that does what this app is capable off. UNFORTUNATELY it's out of reach for a good chunk of the population because of SUSCRIPTION pricing, or even SUSCRIPTION itself. The market is flooded with SUBSCRIPTIONS which the general population can not afford anymore. That's why the 4 stars.
