The Power of Your iPad: A Scanning Tool in Your Hands
Your iPad is equipped with a hidden gem - the ability to scan documents. This feature, nestled within the Notes app, allows you to transform most documents into digital files.
With just a few taps, you can capture an entire document, save it, and share it with ease.
This revolution of digital documents puts the power of a document scanner right in your hands.
Scanning Documents with Your iPad
To begin scanning documents, open the Notes app on your iPad. Create a new note, then tap the camera button located at the top of the screen.
From the options that appear, select "Scan Documents". Place your document in view of the iPad's camera.
If your device is in auto mode, it will automatically capture the document. If not, press the shutter button to manually capture the scan.
Once the scan is captured, you can use the crop tool to adjust the scan to fit the page. If you're scanning multiple pages of the same document, simply turn the page and tap "Scan" again.
The Notes app will automatically add each new scan to the same note.
When you're finished scanning, tap "Save" to keep your scanned documents.
Enhancing Your Scanned Documents
After scanning, you might want to make some adjustments to your scanned document.
You can tap on the scanned document to open it, then tap the share button in the upper right corner and select "Markup".
With this feature, you can add notes, highlight text, or even sign the document.
Adding Your Signature to Scanned Documents
Adding your signature to a scanned document is simple with the Markup feature. After selecting "Markup", tap the "+" icon and select "Signature".
You can then sign your name using your finger or an Apple Pencil.
Once you've added your signature, you can adjust its size and position on the document. When you're satisfied, tap "Done" to save your changes.
The Continuity Feature: Scanning on Your iPad, Viewing on Your Mac
If you have a Mac, you can take advantage of the Continuity feature. This allows you to scan a document on your iPad and have it automatically appear on your Mac.
To use this feature, open a supported application on your Mac, control-click in the document window, and select "Import from iPhone or iPad", then "Scan Documents".
This will open the camera on your iPad. After scanning, the document will automatically appear on your Mac.
