You can use this tip to quickly scan receipts, papers, letters, invoices and more to turn them into searchable PDF documents. You can also scan images, photos and texts if you like. Scanned items can then be shared with others, such as via emails, messages or AirDrop. You should note that you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/macreports.com\/how-to-scan-documents-to-mac-using-iphone\/\">scan documents from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac<\/a> using the Continuity camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scanning used to be more difficult, requiring additional hardware along with your computer. Many people owned scanners that looked like printers just to scan their papers. Many printers also have scanning functions. Now, all you need is your iPhone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-start-scanning-documents-with-iphone\">How to start scanning documents with iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your iPhone&#8217;s Notes app has the capabilities to be an effective PDF scanner.

There are two modes for Scanning documents: <strong>Auto<\/strong> and <strong>Manual<\/strong>. You can switch between them by tapping Auto or Manual in the top-right corner of the screen. There are some differences between the two modes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Auto scanning mode<\/strong>: This is the default mode. If you are in Auto mode, the phone will automatically scan documents as soon as the iPhone determines that conditions (scan edges, light, etc.) for the scan are met. You do not need to tap the Shutter button. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manual scanning mode<\/strong>: You will arrange the proper conditions for the scan.

The iPhone will automatically start the scan as soon as you position the object in view. When the document is scanned, you will hear a camera shutter sound. You can tap the <strong>Save<\/strong> button to save the document. If you do not tap the Save button, your iPhone will automatically keep scanning so that you can add multiple pages to your PDF document. Tap<strong> Cancel<\/strong> if you want to abort the scanning.

When you position the document in the camera view, tap the big <strong>Shutter<\/strong> button. The scan will not start unless you tap the Shutter button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After tapping the Shutter button, you will be asked to adjust the edges, and then you can either retake it or<strong> <\/strong>keep it. If you tap <strong>Retake<\/strong>, you will be taken to the Scan view again to retake the scan.
