Remote Shutter Option

The Adobe scan app has the potential to be a great product for doing archival work. However, a feature that is sorely missing is a remote shutter feature. This is a critical feature that allows the app to be used on a tripod without physically touching the camera.

Adobe -- PLEASE -- look into an option to remote click a picture. The iPhone photo app already has this option. A pair of headphones, Bluetooth keyboard or remote can snap a picture.

We also need the flexibility to use an external macro lens for close up shots of small text. The focus and zoom are too grainy through the app alone.

This will save my back and arms countless hours in archival scans and photography.

Thanks!

    It really needs to be able to use a remote, the auto timer does not work well when scanning books, I am about to forgo this app and get a document camera, just because of this function. With out it, it is just not worth using.
