Archive everything.
Preserve exact replicas of all your documents and make them searchable, so you can find the right information, right when you need it. The Acrobat PDF converter quickly turns PNG, BMP, TIFF, GIF and JPG image formats to PDF.
Go from photo to PDF.
Turn your paper documents into PDF files in a snap. Literally. Just snap a photo with the Adobe Scan app on your mobile device and then share it as a PDF. You can even merge multiple files into one PDF document.
Find and fix text errors.
Acrobat uses OCR to make scanned documents editable. Use the onscreen preview of your scanned PDF to fix text errors. You can also edit PDFs further if needed with Acrobat editing tools.
Edit instantly.
Need to edit a paper document after you scanned it? No problem. The Acrobat edit tool uses automatic text recognition to give you a fully-editable PDF with fonts that match your printout.
