Except for those areas dedicated to the professional digitization of documents, smartphones have become ideal tools to carry out basic scanning functions and tasks. We can now download applications to scan and digitize on both Android and iOS, turning our mobile devices into a useful tool to capture and reuse written information.

Adobe's scanner for iPhone and iPad

Although Adobe Reader already incorporated functions to scan and convert documents to PDF, this company has finally developed a standalone application. We can now use this function independently thanks to an application called Adobe Scan and that incorporates the best technology offered by the North American company, the world leader in the edition and presentation of digital documents.

Therefore, this application is one of the best options that we can make use of to scan and digitize documents. It offers us automatic border detection for our documents, automatic lens focus and the automatic conversion to high-quality PDF files. And to all the latter we have to add an important detail regarding other apps from the competition: it can be downloaded for free (although you can pay for Premium or Pro options by means of in-app purchases).

The best application to digitize documents.

What's Adobe Scan for and how to use it?

Well, it's a very versatile scanner so we can basically use it any situation in which we need to digitize a document, whether in our leisure time, at work or at the university. You can scan blackboards, leaflets, forms, notes, business cards, magazines, books... its OCR text recognition technology is capable of later converting the scanned contents in text format into high-quality PDF format. After that, converting that PDF to Word or any other editable format is child's play.

Furthermore, it's perfectly integrated into Adobe's ecosystem of applications and all digitized files are stored on Document Cloud so that we can share them with other users or use other tools much easier.

To scan a document, we've only got to follow these simple steps:

  1. Capture whatever you want to digitize with your camera.
  2. Once scanned, enhance any improvable aspects and even edit or highlight text.
  3. Convert the final document to a PDF file and use it in other applications.

Don't think twice and download one of the most useful tools to scan and digitize any kind of text.
