How to avoid saving as pdf

Question

I am using Moto Edge 50 Pro in India, and it has an amazing built-in feature to directly scan from the default camera app (as I have installed Adobe Scan on my device). I have an issue where after scanning the document, it automatically saves the file as an image & pdf. It doesn't give me an option to re-name the file. At a times, I prefer some of the documents to be saved in image (jepg/png) format only and not pdf, can anyone suggest how I can change this setting or how to change the format of the files?

Hi @dynamic_think,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

Completely disabling the option to save the files as PDF isn't something available with Adobe Scan.

Doing so defeats the core purpose of the application.

However, you can enable the preference to save the files as images to your gallery, too.

To do so, go to Home > Profile > Preferences > enable the toggle button that says "Save originals as images."

Also, when you are on the saving screen, the file name should appear at the top of the screen with dotted lines and a pencil icon.

You can click on it to rename the file as per your preference.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Souvik.
