Thank you, it didn't take half an hour to get exactly what I was looking for. Deeply appreciated, stay blessed!

[@mariellaabrams1809]

Greetings. Of all the scanning videos I've watched, this is the clearest. Thank you very much.

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi Mariella: Glad to hear that - thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it! XO Lisa

[@bobvance9519]

Is the OCR functionality of Adobe Scan for handwritten text the same as what's used in the regular Adobe Acrobat Pro?

[@dog1701]

Thank you so much! Just saved me a lot of money.

[@saraborchert9244]

Life changer, thank you!

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi Sara: Happy to help! XO Lisa

[@rexneuenfeldt4115]

Will that work on handwritten recipes from my grandma? I would like to digital them so I have physical computer copies ?I'm jus a dumb ole cowboy and don't know tech

[@GSBDeleven]

Thanks for the Video. The filesizes are gigantic. Any advice on that?

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi Dave: If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, there is an option to save the file and check the "reduce file size" box when you do. But otherwise, I'm not sure how to shrink the files. XO Lisa

[@augustkoeniger2344]

My problem is when I hold the iPhone in my hand to scan, I can hardly change several pages quickly enough because the Adobe Scan is simply always faster and I can't use both so quickly. Is there a solution thanks a lot for your great and helpful video 😊🙏 Georg

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi August: You want a holder for your phone - I use a Gooseneck EZ Clamp - here's mine amzn.to/3CpFLUO Hope that helps! XO Lisa

[@jmmusic9297]

I enjoyed your video. What would you recommend to get even lighting?

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi JM: Great question - an overhead light would cast a shadow from where you're holding the phone so maybe ambient lighting from different opposing angles? XO Lisa

[@vickieperkins8001]

I work for a historical 130+ year old church with so many documents and records. Loved your video which I think would work so well for our purposes. You mentioned a white background block, where can I find one? I have your link for the phone holder. Thank you!

[@jiejin5659]

best app for scan to PDF

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

hi Jie: So agree! XO Lisa

[@poeticgeenetikstv4672]

Hey Fab! So if I scan my own book, how can I get the files into Adobe indesign?

[@paul111158]

looking for the link to the phone clamp? Thanks

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Here you go! amzn.to/3az5znt

[@antonioarcano7989]

Can I then download them to my computer? to be able to print them out if need be.

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi Antonio: Yes, you can! 1. Open the document on Adobe Scan 2. Hit the Share button [box with an arrow in it on the bottom left] and then 3) Share a copy and email it to yourself and then open it on your computer. XO Lisa

[@40_virajjunjani24]

Can I transfer multiple files to my laptop?

[@onieyoh9478]

So it doesn't save the pdf on your device?

[@EarlBalentine]

It's not free, $10 per month.

[@mauidelite]

I don’t see that it’s free either… 😢

[@JP-nk4sv]

Thanks…but oooh that voice!

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi JP: Sorry you hate my voice but it's the only one I got! XO Lisa

[@MrJorge791]

You talk a lot

[@PrettyFabulousDesigns]

Hi Jorge: I sure do! XO Lisa
