iOS 13
That built-in document
scanner breaks free of the
Notes app, and lets you
scan and save PDFs right to
whatever folder you want- Scan documents directly to Files app
The Files app is better in lots of ways in iOS 13, but one
of our favourites is the ability to scan a document to a
PDF directly to any location in Files.
Previously, you had to go through a bit of a song and
dance in the Notes app to scan a document, save it as a
PDF, and share it to where you want to keep it. But the
Files app gives you access to any location, from local
iPhone/iPad storage, shared folders, iCloud Drive, even
network drives.
In any Files location, just drag down a little to show
the view options (sorting and view style). Tap the (...)
button on the left, and you get the option to create a
new folder, scan a document, or connect to a server.
Capture those important forms or receipts as PDFs,
