Create PDF’s Using Your Android Device With CamScanner

Productivity…productivity…productivity.  I love to be productive!  I especially love to be productive on the go!  If it’s one thing I do and utilize the most on any of my Android devices, it’s viewing important documents.  To be more specific, PDF documents.  I literally have hundreds of docs that I view on my device between work and home on any given day.  One of my more dire needs is to create a PDF from a doc on the fly when an important hard copy comes my way.  Well, CamScanner by IntSig info, has got you covered.  It’s as easy as it sounds.  Just snap a pic of any document, white board, receipt, magazine cover, newspaper article and more, then you’re all set.  The app supports “smart image cropping” which also enhances the image for optimal viewing.  Need to then share it?  No biggie, the app supports multiple ways to send that doc directly to your respective important contact.  If this doesn’t boost your productivity ten fold, then I don’t know what will.  In addition, you just might wind up impressing the heck out of your boss when he/she wonders how in the world you sent that document over while you were stuck in rush hour in the back seat of a taxi.  Ready to be more productive?  Head on over to our popular apps database and snag the download.  Don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.

    very important for writing new articles: never, really never show the reader an link to the app your are talking about. i might happen, that the reader wants to download this app.

    Thanks Micha for the heads up, we apologize for that. That’s the problem with humans writing articles :) We appreciate your attention to detail. The link has been added to the article for the apps database.

    Great tip! Thanks!

    I don’t understand why when reviewing market apps – you don’t provide both a QR code and a market link, the market.android.com makes it so easy to push apps to the phone without having to pick up the phone (that is after all the whole point of the site), instead I have to go to the website and search for the app you mention.

  • Stephen Taylor

    Agreed. Not happy that there isn’t a QR code and market link; it would make getting the app much faster. Please include links to the dev’s website, too, so I can learn more about the app.

    Big problem, though, uh don’t try camscanner(dot)com unless you want a nasty surprise completely unrelated to this program. Definitely NSFW. :(
