I'm interested in an app that can easily scan a document to PDF and doesn't cost an arm & leg. I don't really need to scan receipts or business cards and I'd rather not pay a crazy subscription. I'd probably scan 4-5 documents a month. ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | ||

Genius Scan is free. You just email the pdf when complete | |||

I like the sound of free! I've been seeing apps with crazy monthly subscriptions that just don't make sense for my usage. Thank you ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||

Free: Open the photo: Share->Save PDF to Books, this will create a PDF, open Books & then just share again via email/text it to yourself. ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

I use "turbo scan", and believe the basic version is free; it has some nice functions, e.g. send to my email, email to others, etc; you can crop ad adjust the boarders, use or disable flash (docs turn out best WITH flash n my opinion, since you never have perfect lighting, and often times you will shadow your doc). | |||

I got the “Pixter” app from the Apple App Store. It produces a text version of a document that you aim the phone at. Works pretty well. Was either free, or inexpensive – don’t remember which. Serious about crackers | |||

Another free: apple Notes (already installed). Start a new note, then hit the circled "+" sign. There should be an option to "Scan Documents". Capture your document, and it will save automatically to a folder. | |||

Been using Turboscan for years with no problems and it works great. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

I have been meaning to put one of these apps on my phone. Good timing. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. Jack Kerouac | |||

Another fan of TurboScan here. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

I use the free TurboScan on my iPhone and it worked well, scanned every single document I needed to get to mortgage guy using it. | |||

I use Scanner Pro. Been using it for years now so I don’t know if it’s free or not. It’s great, makes a pdf that you can’t even tell that it was scanned. If you scan something that has faint print that is hard to read it comes out perfectly legible and dark when it creates the pdf. | |||

Same for me, it works great. Multi page documents you just keep adding pages til you're done and it's at least as good as and better than most physical scanners I've used. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Turboscan for the win. Been using it for years and have referred it to many people.

If you use Dropbox, the Dropbox iPhone app has a very good quality built in document scanner that will automatically sync to whichever folder in your Dropbox you select. --------------------------------------- It's like my brain's a tree and you're those little cookie elves. | |||

A lawyer turned me onto Genius Scan five or more years ago. It's free It's ridiculous simply and even. Even a Cop can operate it. Can't tell you how many times I've used it. I used to scan a police report and carry it to court. Print it or email it to a clerk and go from there.

Genius Scan has always worked well for me. There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||

This is awesome. Thank you all. I was reading reviews and looking at the choices and thinking, "who can I ask about this?" then it hit me! I have access to a terrific group of informed, intelligent people most of whom I trust. Thanks guys! ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||
