Scanning Documents

The scan documents feature can be used on either iOS or Android devices. If you have not previously allowed Prisidio to access your camera, you may be prompted to do so the first time you use scan.

1. At the Documents section, press the blue + button and choose Scan Document.
2. With your phone level, hover over the document you wish to scan. A green selection frame will identify the boundaries of your document. Remain steady while the scanning feature scans your document.
3. When a document is scanned, the scanning application will advance you to the editing screen where you can choose to correct distortion, crop, or rotate your document. If you do not like the image of the document that you took, you can choose Retry and scan the document again.
   • Use distortion correction when a scan is skewed or crooked. Scanning documents at an angle can also cause a distorted perspective.
   • The crop function allows you to trim the edges of a scanned document, removing any unnecessary or unwanted parts of the image. Drag any corners of the green selection frame to add or remove any parts of the scanned image you wish.
   • The rotate function allows you to change the orientation of the document when the document is scanned sideways, or upside down.
4. If you wish to add additional pages to your document, press Next and then scan the next page. Repeat this process until all pages have been scanned.
5. When all pages have been scanned and you wish to save your document, press Next and then choose Done at the scan capture screen.
6. At the page edit screen, you can choose from one of three filters: black and white, color, and photo.  If you do not wish to apply a filter, choose none and then press Next. If you scanned multiple pages and wish to remove any of them, press the X on the page you wish to remove before pressing next.
7. Enter a name for the document and choose Save.

The saved document will be added to your documents section as a .pdf file.
