Document Scanner: (Made in India) PDF Creator

Doc Scanner is a free Android app that lets users scan physical documents to create PDFs or convert documents from Word and other formats to PDF format. As its name suggests, the app was designed in India by Lufick for Android devices. It handles physical and digital documents no matter the number of pages.

The app is in competition with apps, such as CamScanner and TinyScanner. It makes the process of turning physical or digital documents into PDF very simple. However, this app stands out in that it offers several document editing tools so that you can make your text more legible and presentable.

How Does Doc Scanner Work?

Doc Scanner is not any different from any other app in its category. It offers a simple interface that looks like the interface of a camera app. This way, you are able to scan your documents right from the homepage. Click on “Scan”, direct the camera to the document, center the document on the frame given, and shoot. The frame will crop away any part of the captured image that is not the document. As such, you will need to place your physical documents on contrasting surfaces for easy capturing. You can crop the documents further if you see the need to. Before saving the documents, you will have the chance to preview them.

During the scan, the document crops and sharpens the captured image automatically. However, you can use other edits, such as resizing and color adjustment to make the documents more presentable.

If you have other documents in JPEG or .doc formats, you can import them to the app and convert them to PDF or print them from the app. After that, you can share your documents as needed.

You can save your documents to your phone’s storage, or you can save them to the cloud. You can share them by creating a QR code for other users to scan and access the documents, or you can share the copies directly through social media apps.

The app is simple to use. However, scanning, editing, and sharing documents take time. Again, you need to be good with your smartphone’s camera, or you will not get the quality of scans you need.

Is Document Scanner: (Made in India) PDF Creator a Good App?

Doc Scanner offers a simple way to capture physical documents and convert them to digital PDF files. The process is simple even if you have never tried it before. As long as you can use the phone’s camera, you can convert your documents with ease.

What makes the app stand out is the fact that it offers several ways to enhance the legibility of your documents - do a few adjustments and your documents are ready for sharing. These edits make the app ideal when you need professional documents. The app might be slow, but it delivers where you need it to.
