How to Scan Documents to PDF with Your Phone Without Watermarks or CamScanner
Popular scanning apps like CamScanner, Adobe Scan, and TurboScan often slap ugly 'Scanned by...' watermarks on your papers, lock multi-page scanning behind expensive subscriptions, or require you to register personal email accounts. With iEditPDF's Doc Scanner, you can use your smartphone camera to capture, perspective-crop, enhance with Magic Color, and export pristine, multi-page PDFs with zero watermarks and zero app installs.
