Adobe Scan is a mobile application developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated that serves as a PDF scanner and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool. It is designed to turn your mobile device into a portable scanner, allowing you to capture physical documents and convert them into digital PDF files.
With Adobe Scan, you can use your smartphone or tablet’s camera to capture documents, receipts, whiteboards, or any printed text. The app automatically detects the edges of the document and enhances the image quality to ensure clear and readable scans. Once the document is captured, Adobe Scan employs OCR technology to recognize and extract text from the scanned image, making it searchable and editable.
Adobe Scan – PDF Scanner, OCR App
User reviews:
For this being a free app “FROM ADOBE”, they don’t give much of anything for free, okay,maybe an app of two, but this really is a nice app. It does what it say it does. I’ve scanned all kinds of stuff so far and it has some nice filters and other FREE features too that you’ll probably find very helpful and even fun to work/play with. Check it out. You will not be sorry if you’re looking for a nice little scanner app.

Excellent app. I use it a lot, as I am going paperless and saving in my computer files. Also, right after each scan, you can adjust/edit them, before saving. A great 5 star for me!

I can’t believe how good the free version of the app is. I use it regularly to back up school notes, bills, etc. I haven’t used the OCR yet, but I reckon knowing adobe it’s fine. They don’t spam ads for the paid version.
David Scrivener – ★★★★★
Great application, great functionality, plenty of editing tools love it. I just hope you could make it a bit faster to process images it have been slowing down with each generation and have less crushes when you throw a big load at it. Suggestion: Delete scans after uploading to Adobe Cloud would be a great touch.
