Question

Scanning directly to Document Cloud from Document Scanner

I'm about to buy a document scanner to convert a number of files with printed documents into PDF. The amount of files / documents to convert clearly makes it not feasible to use Acrobat with a scanner to scan page-by-page (as described in https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/scan-documents-pdf.html). I'm talking about devices like the Brother ADS-2800W, which scans 40 pages per minute full-duplex. 

 

When I checked the capabilities of this and other devices, I noted they all support storing documents in various cloud storages (Dropbox, Onedrive, you name it) - but no devices support uploading scans to Document Cloud! Why is that?

The scanner software doesn't support this.

Bernd, this is pretty obviously what I am "complaining" about.

This is actually a feature request to motivate Adobe to collaborate with major scanner producers like Brother (which produce excellent devices) to add such support. I haven't seen such support advertised for other brands, neither.

I will contact the Document Cloud management internally and eventually report back.
