This completely ruins the functionality of the app. I don't know where to find these documents I'm saving to the cloud and I would much prefer that I could save to dropbox or send to email. Those should be my first options. Now when I scan something and save to pdf I'm brought to a blank screen and I can't find my document. I guess I'll have to find a different app

Hi Jenniferd,

Adobe Scan saves the documents as PDF in the Adobe Document Cloud.

You may check your saved files over here https://cloud.acrobat.com/.

Open the link and sign in with your Adobe ID and the password.

Then go to Files > Document Cloud > Adobe Scan folder.

All the saved files with be listed there.

You can also view your scans in the application.

As you have mentioned that you receive the blank screen once you save to PDF, can you share the screenshot of the window?

Also, let us know if the blank screen remains till you close the application.

We will be waiting for your response.

Let us know if you need any help.

Regards,

Meenakshi

Same problem here. The new Adobe Acrobe Pro is pretty much useless. They have NOT figured out how to make a user-friendly Cloud based App - They've turned it into an opportunity to sell their cloud storage services. Always best to keep the user's needs first. See ya!

Agreed, this is unfortunate as the app works really well. But I just spent 10 minutes poking around Creative Cloud looking for my scans (?) only to discover that Acrobat has it's own seperate cloud?! That's a ridiculous workflow. And to echo others comments, the UI here ain't great. Looks like DrobBox or Evernote scan moving forward. Bummer. A $55 CC subscription would obviously be much more useful if apps (and clouds?) were integrated.

this company prety sucks. like many others (and of course apple) they want you to be a slave for them and to become fully dependent on their products.

I just paid $300 for software and I can't even see the files I scanned. This is absurd!

Hi @cathyb63470067

Kindly check if you are signed in with the same email which you have used while scanning the documents.

It could happen when you mistakenly sign in with a different email.

when i click copy to device, what is the file path of the pdf?

I think you get an app-picker menu. Then you select your filemanager or select the "Download"-app. Download works well for me, as I have it set up to automatically upload all its contents to my OneDrive-inbox folder.

If you have set up a standard app already, you might not see this dialog, anymore?

Same problem here. My photos are visible from the scanner app but not the documents that I have previously scanned.

First impression of the scan app is very good and useful, but I was not able to find my scans and I was wondering why..
now here is the "solution"..

I haveto go to https://cloud.acrobat.com/ , and there I can find my scans from the scan app.

But when I open my CC app and click on "my cloud documents" I am directed to https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents and there are NO scans at all. In cloud 1 are only the scans, in cloud 2 is all the rest of my stuff, color schemes, asssets, etc.

Looks like we have two Adobe clouds in parallel.. 😄

Any options to solve this mess?

Yes, the PDF products have a document cloud, the Photoshop program (and other apps/programs) use the Creative Cloud.

[from what little I understand]

This is two clouds too many, for my taste, since I already use OneDrive.

This is silly.

Obviously everyone wants to save a PDF file to their local storage. Obviously Adobe's aggressively designed out any way to achieve that in an effort to force everyone through their Document Cloud service at the expense of usability. This, combined with the similar desperate cannibalism of their other flagship products (photoshop, illustrator, indesign, etc.) through ham-fisted promotion and UI intrusion of Adobe Stock and Adobe Libraries, is why I won't be an Adobe customer in 2019. I've used their products consistently for 20 years prior.

I also just conducted an appraisal of Framemaker for the large company I work for. The sales team between Frame and AEM was frantic, disjointed, and pitched horribly. The software couldn't speak for itself, there's little to no detailed information from Adobe about the products (despite their own executive presenting that detailed documentation is a major driver for purchasing decisions). The website is all now useless marketing mumbo-jumbo.

Adobe, you may want to rethink your strategy. To me, it appears you've abandoned the professional market across all fronts. Not smart.

I too was lost on where my scans were saved to. Opened my ES File Explorer (Pro) on my Samsung tablet, could not locate. So, i see here they are in the cloud. Ok, opened your link, there they are, but wait, to Export them so that i may make easy use of- I what... need pay how much?, ... just no! No! I adore Adobe, a huge fan, but NO, I'll stay with Genius Scan for this need.

Used to love Adobe as well - unfortunately since they have gone to the cloud model (and seem to think it's helpful to wall off their cloud from everyone else's much more dominant clouds) it's been downhill. I don't know who or what they use for user input/research. Between the walled cloud, acrobat losing features and getting cludgier with new iteration and the absolute pile of bloat-spy ware (er...licensing) software they bury all over my machine (check our your resource manager sometime its as if there is more useless adobe BS running than system processes) just to allow the use of their products. I would love to cut them out entirely. But for work I would. I'm still trying to find a good way to move the Scan files out of my app. I was trying this and am done. There are dozens of good phone scanner apps that play nice with synch and dropbox and icloud etc so at least Adobe is avoidable there.
