About SmartScan Pro: PDF scanner
App Store
SmartScan uses complex and efficient algorithms to accurately detect document edges, correct their perspective, eliminate shadows, and perfectly contrast text, black on white. You can also choose between color and black-and-white photo modes. Our user interface is powerful and easy to use. With this app you can easily adjust the brightness, color, and rotation of your device.
SmartScan offers SuperScan, a scanning mode that captures sharper images, especially in low-light conditions. Acquiring multiple takes of the same scan, SuperScan guarantees the best result.
SmartScan also has an "Email to myself" feature that works with a single tap.
SMARTSCAN FEATURES:
• Automatic document edge detection and shooting. Perspective correction
• SuperScan mode for sharpest scans
• Document naming, storage in folders and smart search
• “Email to myself” feature for quick routine emails
• Add and reorder pages at any time
• Arrange multiple receipts or business cards on a PDF page for printing, etc.
• Email or message documents as PDF, JPEG, or PNG, or save to Photos
• Touch ID & passcode lock
• Upload, auto-upload and backup to iCloud Drive
• Open PDFs or JPEGs in other apps like Dropbox or Google Drive to send to clouds
• Copy & paste scans to other scans or Clipboard, and merge
• AirDrop function
• Printing via AirPrint or printing apps
• Compact attachments with adjustable size
• Ultra-fast processing
Scanning tips
• Make sure the document is laying flat in a bright location
• For optimal edge detection results, make sure to have a contrasting outline or margin around your document while snapping the photo
• When shooting in low light conditions, use flash to illuminate the scene. However, be careful not to produce too much glare from shiny documents or surfaces.
SmartScan is on a road of constant improvement, and we value your input and feedback.
If you have any questions or problems with the SmartScan app, please email us at support@amaximapps.com. We would be happy to help you out.
Thank you!

Makes life easier
Jan 17, 2018 By sulparis97Awesome new feature combining scans. Files are easy to create and access, and I like the simplicity of the design. Highly recommend! -
Best mobile scanner I have found!

Great scans and super-responsive developer
Aug 3, 2013 By Psydoc DennisI've used many different scanning apps and all around, this is the best. The quality of the scans is superb, especially the 3x scans. The flexibility for saving the scans is every option that I need. I've contacted the developer a couple of times and they have responded with help within 24 hours and feature tweaks within just a few days. This app handles gray scale images better than most others. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is edge detection. It's as good as most apps, better than many, but not the very best I have seen. The manual adjustment is very easy to use. But I have seen some automatic edge detection that's a lite more often accurate. more -

My iPhone is now a scanner, yay!
Dec 25, 2012 By AnonTunesThis app is so easy to use. I'm shocked at the small amount of reviews (this is an app that everyone could find use for!) It is much more accurate than taking a regular picture of a piece of paper. This app always comes out clear and focused, detects the edges for you, and even re-scales the image so that any wrinkles, or un-evenness, on the paper comes out as perfect as if you had scanned it with a real scanner. It automatically detects the edges of the paper that you've taken a picture of (and if it's wrong you can easily choose your own edges with a live preview.) After that first step is done, all that's left is one step to change brightness/contrast (with 2 slider bars and a live preview of the result.) You can easily save to your regular camera roll (default "Photos" on iOS) on the final step, so you know exactly where your results go. I could not be more impressed with this app. I got it when it was on sale for free, but I would definitely purchase this app for the normal price if I got a new phone. I use it at least weekly to save papers and receipts (any size/shape!) My phone has become a scanner that I can use anywhere, on any piece of paper, very quickly and easily. Thank you for that! more

Does not work as expected
Oct 22, 2016 By RaghunadOn seeing the app description in App Store Page, I was given impression that I could scan document in (and through) the App and convert it as PDF in the file as PDF in the same app. But after downloading, I found that that it can only cover the jpeg picture taken with some other app already, such as Photos App (in my iPhone 6), which lead to tedious trials through different apps for single purpose, which I could achieve till now with apps "Photos" and "Photo to PDF" app which already I have purchased. Added to it, after downloading, when I opened the app, I could not find "Scan" and "S3x" icons on the bottom of opening page, leaving no scope at all to scan the document. Further, when I tried to download it's connected apps such "PhotoScan PDF ...." and Premium version, I was prompted that they are not available in US App Store. Thus, I conclude that the App is did not function as specified and as I expected. Hence, I claim refund. more

A good start
Jul 14, 2014 By ChuckHoffmanThis app works pretty well. Here are a couple of areas that could use improvement: 1. Sequencing of operations: For example, you can't highlight a document until after you email or upload it. You have to hit Cancel first. 2. When highlighting, I need a way to zoom in on the document. Right now it is very hard to highlight the parts that I really want to highlight, because they are so small. The app is very tiny, and does an amazing job of creating scans, especially with the small size of the app. I'm optimistic that, with a little additional work, this app will become a great one. more -
Does what it should!
Jun 19, 2015 By The DeeZ 33This app does exactly what it should. It is pretty stable & offers some helpful options, including converting to PDF & sending out. The crop tool, and it's alternate preview, is usefully unique as well. The only improvements it might need is to be able to type text directly on images (to write notes or labels), & could also have a "sexier" interface. more
