1. 5/5Great for anyone who wants to get paper to digital with as all Adobe tools.

   The software is free, more intricate than it may seem, easy to use, and is backed by the comittment of Adobe, Inc. Product continues to improve, and combined with Acrobat or other Adobe iPad Pro apps, just about as good for someone who preserves, categorizes, presents, and shares documents after easy editing and repesoitory in the Creative or Document clouds. In the end, its user choice, with some good alternatives, but this has long term potential and integration is important for ease of use and quality control. I always return to Adobe Scan after trying everything else new. The developers I believe, will maintain their pride in applying knowledge from so many areas within Adobe, that it will become a “Professional” Standard in not too long. Enjoy watching techology change at an accelerating pace. We are envisioning capabilities as though they will come to fuition in a year, but what we can only imagine now, is already very likely a reaity in the making all around us. Thanks Adobe. DDoherty

2. 5/5Shocked and Awed!!!! Excellent tool!

   Incredibly handy, effective, and helpful. Take a moment how to learn how to use this app/software, and you won’t be disappointed. I’m not even super techy and it wasn’t hard to operate. I really could go on and on, but give it a try and you’ll definitely see yourself, especially if you’re a regular desktop to PC scanner. Ahhhhhmazing! If you don’t have access to a desktop scanner, or can’t get yours up and running, or on the go and can’t get to one and need to scan something, this is hands down one handy app. For personal or business use, it’s going to deliver. With this app on the go, you could literally work from the tailgate of your truck if you had to. It’s actually so cool and easy, it makes you want to scan stuff that you’d normally not, or put off. If you can hold your tablet or phone steady for pictures, then you can scan with this. Not to mention all the extra tools and features. As always, through the decades of use, Adobe continues to deliver and stay up on top of the technology game.

3. 4/5A Well-Oiled App: Efficient & Intuitive!

   I recently refinanced my home thru a virtual mortgage co. using electronic document exchange & signing as preferred by my company & many others, allowing and immediacy of interaction and environmental responsibility. I was very worried that I’d be unable to do the scanning, signing, and uploading with just my iPad mini and iPhone 7 Plus. I had no funds fora new “real” computer & feared id have to drive from my rural home to the nearest town everyday to have a business do the scanning for the process. Adobe was recommended by my refi' co' to allow glich-free document exchange by any parties in the transaction. I used a reputable scanning app I was already familiar with until (perhaps queued by Adobe acrobat) I spotted the Adobe Scan app I had downloaded but not yet tried. WHAT an improvement was my experience using Adobe Scan! I simply laid my papers in a row along a solid colored floor runner and stepped sideways click clicking away at doc's up to 27 pages long. The app scanned so well, I could hardly step to the next page before Adobe Scan had the previous page formatted. Yet like some apps, A'S' did not close a doc' if I had a short delay between pages. The few bad scans were easily deleted at anytime during the procedure. I am happy to tell you I succeeded refinancing my home using only an iPad Mini 2 and iPhone 7 Plus, with the exception of closing day, when the co's closing agent sat in my living room to witness and notarize my signatures for final settlement.

4. 4/5Edge-finding and focussing (spelling intentional) capability less than perfect

   I chose to ignore Adobe’s prompting that I upgrade to AdobeScan from the scanning feature included with the Adobe PDF app for a while, because when I’d tried it, it had “grabbed” the document it was supposed to scan as if on some sort of fast-forward setting and estimated the location of the document’s edges incorrectly. It also didn’t take enough time to get a properly-focussed (spelling intentional) image. I’d realized that I needed to figure out how to perform the scan manually, in order to get it precise enough, or find another scanning app. During a later attempt, I was relieved when I was prompted to disable the psychotic-seeming autoscan setting — imagine a coworker coming to your desk and frantically dishevelling a neat pile of paper documents sitting on it while you watch — which I’d never chosen to activate to begin with. With that setting shut off, however, the app still doesn’t “find” the document’s edges as precisely as I’d like. It gives you the option of adjusting its placement of them yourself; however, I preferred the scanning feature of the Adobe PDF app to this separate, supposedly-superior Adobe Scan app.

5. 5/5Integrated Simplicity, Bottom line

   As far as products that are free through Iniversities and up to an amount as individual personal accounts there isn’t any other way u will get the OCR accuracy that will auto save to an amazing platform to do with as you please. I agree the Document auto sensor takes a pretty good amount of pics before u r ready leaving you with extra steps to delete the ones u do not need , I recommend placing your phone at a fixed angle with whatever you want as long as it’s overhead the documents you will be scanning for actual paper imag scans and it will definitely speed up all the filing of important documents one may save like resumes, Fingerprint Clearence Card Images, aEmployment Related Documentts, Bank and Finance Contracts, Titles, Registration tooo Vehicles, Health Records, and such you will have what you need at the tip of your finger to assist and print off if necessary or attach too email too someone be , some place , Human Resources, ai even keep a copy of My aGn Permits and Concealed Carry just in case it was ever necessary in public. Much more you can do and touch up if u have Adobe Photoshop Skills or a numerous amount of mage creation and automation applications as well all the way to basic photo capturing on a DSLR uploaded photos onto your Laptop and then your really in luck if you understand the sucrinicity and have an understanding or history of photography then Adobe is your one stop shop as well that’s a given. Anyways you won’t be disappointed and it’s all easy to learn these days with online resources.
