Just open the file in Acrobat ( File > Create PDF > From File) and run the OCR programm by going to Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR. Adobe Scan offers easy PDF scanning that also automatically recognizes the text (therefore increasing accessibility). Remember to sign in with your campus.
Its perks include:Integration into other Microsoft/Office services like OneNote, OneDrive, Word, and PowerPoint.OCR via Word if you use Microsoft Office.Dead simple, super-fast interface — you probably don't need my hand-holding to use it (but it's here if you do).Works with images/photos you already have.Left: Firing up the app for the first time. Whether you're deeply integrated into Microsoft's Office suite and services or not, it's pretty fast and easy with a dead-simple interface and all the tools you probably need.If you're scanning documents regularly from your phone, this is the app you should be using. However, our readers' favorite is Office Lens, and if you're dealing with scanning documents frequently, it's definitely your best choice.Of the three options here, Microsoft Office Lens is probably the best. In general, I'd recommend Drive if you only need to scan a document once or twice, since it's probably already installed on your phone and will save you time. In this post, we'll break down what you need to do to get your docs and photos converted to PDF using an Android phone.There are plenty of ways you can generate PDFs in a pinch, and probably a hundred apps that claim to do it, but we'll be focusing on three good ways from three specific and well-known apps to generate PDFs from real-world documents: Google Drive, Adobe Scan, and Microsoft Office Lens.Since each has its own advantages, you can decide for yourself. Fortunately, you don't need a hardware scanner or big, bulky multifunction printer to digitize your paper documents: all you need is a smartphone, an app, and a couple of minutes.
Just note that if you take photos on a grid-like background like you see pictured above, it might bug out a bit with that automatic cropping. You can also tap the photograph/gallery icon to get to a file picker if you need to manually navigate to images outside the camera roll.When you've got the document lined up in the viewfinder, an orange-red rectangle indicates that it has a solid lock on its perspective and dimensions (which it can automatically crop and correct for). Above the shutter is your camera roll, offering easy access to images you've already captured with your camera app — just tap the images you'd like to add to a document and then tap the orange arrow that appears to the right of the shutter button (above right). You'll probably just use the default "document" mode, but you can quickly switch to scanning business cards, photos, and whiteboards as well, each of which triggers its own preset modes. Along the bottom of the viewfinder, below the shutter, are different modes you can switch between based on what you're scanning. Apart from an interstitial screen that you'll see the very first time you launch it (above left), you'll always be dumped straight to the viewfinder (above center), as with Adobe's app.The viewfinder has all the tools you need immediately accessible with just a few taps.
If I had to come up with one complaint about this app, it's that a share option could be integrated into the export screen before this one, but that's a very minor concern.We have two other, different ways of to create a PDF on your Android-powered phone listed below. You can also send the image to OneDrive, PowerPoint, or OneNote, and documents can be imported to Microsoft Word for OCR if you prefer to convert it into text.When the document has been saved in a specific format, you're dumped to a list of files you've created in the app, from there you can share or delete them via the three-dot menu on each. If you save it to your Android phone's gallery, that saves it as a JPEG image, but there are options to save a PDF file to your phone's storage as well.
Options include shooting off a link to the file stored on Adobe's Document Cloud, sending the file via Email, or you can pass the file to another app via an intent with "Share a copy."One word of warning: I have run into issues with non-link, standalone PDF files generated by Adobe Scan. If you need to get them off of your device (which is probably the whole point of generating a PDF), you can share the files via that aptly-named "share" button. After a short bit of processing, the files listed here also include OCR text.
