The users then can just simply scan multiple-page documents and then put aside the scans as PDF files with the help of Adobe Scan app. Regarded as one of  the key features accessible by the Adobe Scan is text recognition, it is just like the one offered by Microsoft Lens, which lets the users to scan images into editable documents and can come in handy for working professionals as well as students.

"The free Adobe Scan app turns your device into a powerful portable scanner that recognises text automatically (OCR). Turn anything - receipts, notes, documents, pictures, business cards, whiteboards - into an Adobe PDF with content you can reuse," the company says in the app description on Google Play.

"Adobe Scan represents a radical re-imagination of how to capture your most important document content," Bryan Lamkin, executive vice president and general manager, Digital Media at Adobe, was quoted as saying in the company's release.
