Adobe Scan Turns Paper into Intelligent Digital Documents,
Integrates with Acrobat DC and Adobe Sign
As the workplace of the future unfolds and digital
transformation takes hold both at the office and in our personal
lives, smartphones and tablets are increasingly relied upon to get
real work done from anywhere – whether digitizing tax documents,
capturing receipts to submit an expense report or getting a sales
contract signed before the quarter ends. People need powerful,
integrated mobile apps and services that help them be more
productive no matter where they are.
Addressing this need, Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) today unveiled major
innovations in Adobe Document Cloud, delivering intuitive
experiences that help people get work done from anywhere. Document
Cloud lets you work across its integrated cloud services, mobile
and desktop apps. Leading the new line-up are innovations in Adobe
Sign, setting a new bar for ease of use and mobility, and Adobe
Scan, a new free app that delivers a modern document experience,
turning your mobile device into an intelligent scanning and
text-recognition tool.
“Documents are the lifeblood of society, communicating
information that spans contracts, textbooks, financial statements
and everything in between,” said Abhay Parasnis, chief technology
officer, Adobe. “The challenge is unlocking the intelligence that
lives in those documents, and extracting meaning that can be
searched, analyzed and incorporated into digital
workflows. Adobe Scan, powered by Adobe Sensei’s intelligent
services, represents a critical step toward our broader innovation
imperative for Adobe Document Cloud.”
Introducing Adobe Scan – Powered by Adobe Sensei

automatically recognizes text. Capture images in a snap and
transform them into brilliantly clear Adobe PDFs. Available on
iOS and Android, Adobe Scan connects you to the world’s best PDF
services, created by the people who invented PDF. See Adobe

Powered by Adobe Sensei’s intelligent services, Adobe Scan
automates boundary detection, auto-crop and capture, perspective
correction and auto-clean, removing shadows and making text crisp

- Capture scanned text with free
automatic text recognition (OCR). Snap a picture of any
document or anything with printed text and Adobe Scan will
automatically convert it into digital text that can be selected,
copied or annotated with Acrobat Reader DC or Acrobat DC. The
content then becomes searchable and reusable in a secure and
reliable Adobe PDF.
- Do more with your scans and
connect with the world’s best document services from
Adobe. Use the free Adobe Scan app and a free Adobe Document

signatures and much more. Scan on your phone and upload to Document
Cloud to edit on your laptop then continue working with the
document on your tablet. And take advantage of new mobile
functionality in Adobe Sign to automatically sign and send
documents from any device.
“Adobe Scan represents a radical reimagination of how to capture
your most important document content,” said Bryan Lamkin, executive
vice president and general manager, Digital Media at Adobe. “Adobe
invented PDF creation for PCs, and with Adobe Scan we’re doing the
same for a mobile-first world. As part of Adobe Document Cloud, new
apps like Adobe Scan integrate with services in Adobe Sign and
Acrobat DC, offering a modern document experience with
unprecedented value to our customers.”
