Hi All,

You can now save files locally using "Available Offline" option in the app. More info here: Working with Scanned Documents — Adobe Scan Help

Thanks,

This only makes file available offline but it does not prevent it from being uploaded to Adobe Document Cloud. Uninstalling this app right away. There is no free lunch, and giving up my private documents for this functionality is a bad bargain.

Or i´m missing something or the make available offline option is not working. I just scanned two documents and both were by default set to be made available offline but none of them shows any "available offline" badge neither could be found anywhere on the device. I toggled it off and on again, the app said it was downloading the file but again i could not find the file in my device.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!!

I agree - there is NO option of directly saving a scan on device - meaning offline - you first have to automatically upload it to cloud - this is really bad - specially for business, where one travels and has a limited data package!

too bad - I liked the app, but now going aboard and not taking this risk!

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay in response.

When you enable the option "Available offline", the file does not get saved on the device.

Currently, there is no option to save scanned PDF locally to the device.

However, you can save the scanned images to photo gallery on your device.

Refer the steps mentioned here: Working with Scanned Documents — Adobe Scan Help.

You may try a workaround to save the scanned PDF locally though.

You can save the file on Drive or Dropbox using the "Share file" option.

Then from there, you can download the PDF to your local folder on the device.

Hope this helps.

You may share your feedback on this with the team here Scan Android Feature Request and Bug Report Form

Available offline is not the same like not saving in a cloud.

Uninstalled till the cloud isn't a must anymore.

I'm also unhappy about the lack of an option to save locally. I'm also likely to uninstall.

I need the option of saving locally. Uninstalling for this reason alone.

Dear AndiLeni,

When you tap Save PDF in Adobe Scan, your file is automatically converted to PDF and saved to Adobe Document Cloud. You will get 5GB of free storage in Adobe Document Cloud when you sign up Adobe Document Cloud.

More information can be found at Adobe Scan FAQ

Thanks for your answer.

So the documents are not accessible on the device, f.e. to transfer it via usb, only in the cloud?

Dear AndiLeni,

After saving a scanned file as a PDF file, you can share a link to the file stored in Adobe Document Cloud, share the file with other apps on your device, and email the file.
