PDF Scan lets you capture receipts, contracts, notes and whiteboards with your camera and turn them into clean, shareable PDFs in seconds. Automatic edge detection straightens and crops each page, so the result looks like it came off a real scanner - not a photo.
Built-in text recognition (OCR) can pull editable text out of your scans, and everything is processed on your device, so your documents never leave your phone.
