Steps to Capture a Clear Scan

- Adjust the page crop and appearance before saving a copy.
- Use the built-in tools to straighten page edges and improve contrast.
- Review the final output before sharing it.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One of the most important things to remember is to place the document on a contrasting surface with even light and minimal shadows. This helps ensure that the scanner captures the full detail without distortion.
Example Scenario
Suppose you're trying to scan a receipt from your phone. You take a photo with good lighting, crop the area around the receipt, and then use the scanner's tools to adjust brightness and contrast. After reviewing the result, you save a clean PDF version for future reference.
