Practical guide
How to use Scan to PDF
Scan to PDF is useful for turning paper documents into a file that is easier to store or share. A phone camera can capture receipts, notes and forms when a physical scanner is not available.
Steps to follow
- Open the camera option on a supported device or choose existing document photos.
- Capture or select each page with the full document visible.
- Choose the available colour or black and white style.
- Create the PDF and check that the text is readable and the pages are in the correct order.
Tips for a better result
- Use even lighting and avoid shadows across the page.
- Place the document on a contrasting, flat background.
- Check small print and handwritten notes before submitting the scan.
What to check before using the file
The output is based on the selected images. This process does not guarantee optical character recognition or searchable text, and poor source photos can remain difficult to read.
