Before phones became smart, scanning a document to convert it into a digital copy was a big hassle. I remember the days when I used to go to my friend’s house to use his printer/scanner to scan my documents. However, times have changed now and our mobile devices have become smarter than ever. While there are an array of scanner apps available for mobile devices, there is support for scanning documents in two of the native iOS and iPadOS apps.
So first, let us take a look at how we can use the “Notes” app in iOS and iPadOS to easily scan documents and share them as PDFs.
- Once a yellow margin appears, signaling the detection of the document, the app will capture the scan automatically.
- It will then open up the in-app editor for you to crop or add filters to the scan.
Now, let’s see how the scanning feature works in the “Files” app.
- Select “Scan Documents” from the drop-down menu.
- Follow the previous steps to scan your document(s).
- Now, once you tap the “Save” button to save your scan(s), you will have to select the location where you want to save your files.
- Once you save the file, go to the location where it saved and open it to share as a PDF using the dedicated share sheet.
Es tut mir leid. Ich bin ein Student!
