Hi there

This is the default behavior of the Adobe Scan app. All files created using Adobe Scan are automatically saved to Adobe Document Cloud for seamless backup and cross-device accessibility.

This ensures that users can securely access their scanned documents anytime, anywhere, and from any device, as long as they're signed in with the same Adobe ID.

For more details on how Adobe Scan works and how files are managed, please check out the help article:Adobe Scan Help (Android)

 

Hope this information will help.

Why give users an option to store files on their own devices when storing them in the cloud creates another revenue stream.

I really miss this feature too. I love how good the scan feature works, but I am uncomfortable storing my documents in the adobe cloud. I would much rather have the documents saved solely on my device.

@Brian J. Baumgartner as per @Bernd Alheit  that is one definetly way around it. Don't use it. 

Another method is after scanning the PDF, delete it from your systems including Adobe Cloud too!
