How to use Scan to PDF
Take or add photos
Press Use camera and take a photo of each page, or add photos you already have. On a computer, press Scan with my phone and scan the QR code to use the phone camera.
Check the edges
The page is found and straightened automatically. Tap a page to drag its corners, choose Colour, Grayscale or Black & white, or rotate it.
Put the pages in order
Use the arrows to reorder pages and the cross to remove one. Add more pages at any time.
Create the PDF
Choose A4, Letter or Fit scan and press Create PDF. It downloads at once; you can also send it to your phone.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app?
No. It runs in your phone or computer browser. Open this page, allow the camera, and scan.
Is my document uploaded anywhere?
No. Detection, straightening and the PDF are all done on your device. With the phone-to-computer option the pages travel straight between the two devices.
How do I scan with my phone and get the PDF on my computer?
On the computer press Scan with my phone and scan the QR code with the phone camera. Take the photos, press Send to computer, and the pages appear on the computer, where you can reorder them and create the PDF.
What if the page edges are not found?
Place the page on a table of a clearly different colour with good light. If it is still wrong, drag the four corners yourself or press Find edges again.
Can it read the text (OCR)?
No. The PDF holds pictures of the pages, so you cannot select or search the text. Use a clean light and the Black & white filter for sharp, small files.
How good is the straightening compared with a scanner app?
It corrects the perspective of a flat page. It does not flatten curved pages such as the middle of a thick book, and it does not remove shadows as well as a dedicated app.
