Create PDF and Scan¶
Subscribers to Adobe Acrobat Premium or Adobe Acrobat Pro DC can convert many document types to PDF format. This online service requires an internet connection.
Converting unopened files¶

Do one of the following:
For any file, tap Create PDF.
Tap and then tap
Tap any file location, and navigate to a file.

The app automatically converts your file to PDF. Local files save to Document Cloud. Other files save to their original location.
Saving a gallery image as PDF¶
You can easily convert any image file on your device if the viewing application supports sharing that file with Acrobat Reader.

Scanning to PDF¶
If you’ve installed the Adobe Scan app, you can invoke it from Acrobat Reader, scan a document, and automatically convert it to PDF. The file is automatically sent to Adobe’s Create PDF service and uploaded to Document Cloud.
The free Adobe Scan PDF scanner app turns your device into a powerful portable PDF scanner that recognizes text automatically (OCR). Adobe Scan turns anything — receipts, notes, documents, photos, business cards, whiteboards — into an Adobe PDF with text you can reuse from each PDF and photo scan.
In addition to creating PDFs which you can then import into Acrobat Reader, Adobe scan allows you to:
Edit your scan
Add images from your device
Reorder pages
Crop pages
Adjust the color
Rotate pages
Delete pages
Scanning from the Home view¶
When in the Home view, simply choose New Scan from the Tools list.
Scanning from a file list¶

Tap and then tap
When the scan app opens, follow through with the workflow.

You can initiate a scan from any file’s context menu:
