Adobe Scan is available as a free app for both iPhones and Android devices. The app has a text-recognition (OCR) feature built-in, useful if you’re scanning filings for your court filing which must be text-searchable. It will automatically store your scans in the Adobe Document Cloud so this is convenient if your firm uses the desktop Adobe Acrobat software.
• After downloading the app, open the app, hold it above your document, wait for the capture
• Follow the on-screen hints. The app uses auto-crop and image cleaning, so once you are satisfied with the output, hit Save.
