Scanning PDF's with Iphone: Little trick for those of you working from home

[RaggedHunter]

A lot of you may already know this little trick (maybe I'm late to the party), but I just learned it yesterday and it has made my life a whole lot easier. Figured I would pass it along, hopefully it helps some of you out.

Steps to scan PDF's on your Iphone:

1. Go into notes.
2. Create folder name:
3. Click into that folder:
4. Hit the button in the lower right hand corner:
5. Hit the camera button in the bottom center:
6. Select Scan documents:
you can scan multiple pages into a singe .pdf file.
7. When you've scanned all your pages, Select save.
then in the top right corner you can send the .pdf file via Email etc.

This works a ton better than using our little home printer/scanner to scan and send documents.

Sweet, had no idea. I've been using a junky 3rd party app but this will be much easier!

Thanks

I’ve been using the free app Genius Scan, which works well. I’ll have to try your way and see how it compares. Thanks

Adobe Scanner(free) in the App Store works great too, most of my school has been using, automatically converts to pdf, gives you options how you want to display the document also. Used the notes as well, but this allowed me to organize a little better.

Scanbot is another good one

That's handier than a shirt pocket.

Genius scan is awesome. I'm in the field all the time and have to scan docs. Saved my butt!

Genius Scan works pretty well for me, but this is a good backup.

I closed on a house a couple years ago from a ridge top with particularly good cell reception.

Android has had this forever. Open PDF app. Take picture, convert to PDF, send via email/text. Easy peasy!
