SCAN DOCUMENTS TO PDF • Point the camera at a page: it is detected, cropped and straightened for you. • Save a multi-page scan as one PDF file, or as separate JPG images. • Name every scan as you save it, from a suggested name like "Bills 22 Sep 2026". • Full quality: scans go into the PDF exactly as captured. Merging, reordering and rotating never re-compress them. • Enhance scans: remove shadows, whiten the page, grayscale or black and white. OCR: SEARCH INSIDE YOUR SCANS • Turn on text recognition and every scan becomes a searchable PDF. • Search your documents by the words on the page. • Extract text from an image or PDF: long-press a page, select the words, then copy or share. • Shared PDFs keep an invisible text layer, so they stay searchable in other apps. • OCR runs on your device, not in the cloud. FILL AND SIGN PDF • PDF form filler: type on any PDF or scanned form in English, Hindi or any keyboard language. • Add today's date, ticks and crosses with a tap. Highlight, draw, or white out and type over. • Sign PDF documents with your handwritten e-signature, saved for next time. • Save over the original with Undo, or keep a copy.
