This is a great app. It's worth 5 stars. Just take a picture, and it's converted to a pdf. Positives: 1. Multiple pages can be saved into one pdf. 2. Chance to rescan the last page photoed. 3. Auto-cropping and manual cropping before saving. 4. Option to save documents directly to google drive or locally. Negatives: 1. Does not correct for bends in folded pages. 2. If scanned page is all pink (or some color) it assumes the page is white (half star off for that.)

App used to load very quickly. Newest version is slow to respond and now requires a login. App used to be my go to for mobile document scanning, guess I'll just have to go back to using my PC to convert jpeg files into searchable PDF files. Way to ruin a great app Adobe! Update, i work in IT, I've already done that. How about you come with something more useful.

Adobe Scan, what a life saver. This app is AWESOME!! My bf & I drove all around Atlantic City trying to find a place to fax/scan etc.. and it was Sunday. Anyhow this app allows me to take a picture and save/send so it doesn't look like it was a picture taken. (Turns print out into document online) 😊. I also think it allows me to edit the document and does all the difficult things automatically. Thank u Adobe for making life easier
