Usage:
The first time using the app, you will be prompted to allow the app access to your camera. Without this,
the app will not work.
Hold your device above the page you wish to scan. Four blue circles will attempt to line up with the
corners of the page. This is the area you are scanning. If the app cannot locate the corners of your
document, you can adjust them manually afterwards.
Once you have a scanned document, you will be shown a preview of the scan. If you like it, select
“Continue”, otherwise select “Retake”.
You will be given the option to touch up your scan if necessary. Once you are happy with it, select
“Save PDF” in the top right corner.
Select “Share” to share the PDF. If you want to share the link to the scan, select “Share Link” or
“Email” to send the link via email. If you want to share the actual file (recommended), select “Share a
Copy”
