Scan title has number 1 in brackets and is no longer editable

[Bas_H aka Bor de Wolf]

Hello,

I have to do my scans during daytime. I'll rename and save them. I'll do the cropping, filtering and changing later. But sometimes I can't edit a saved PDF anymore.

All automatic adjustments applied during the scan cannot be undone.
If this is the case the PDF file has a number 1 in brackets.
I use an iPhone 13.
The files are stored in the Documents cloud after renaming. They are not edited with other apps.

Do you know what is happening here and how can I prevent this?
It costs me an incredible amount of extra time and frustration to do these scans again.
I cannot rely on working with my original scanned files.

Thank you! Sebastian

Hi @Bas_H aka Bor de Wolf,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Adobe Scan.

Any editing with the already saved PDF through Adobe Scan will not be possible post the save.

I suggest capturing all the images and creating a single PDF file where you make all the changes at once. Once you finish the editing, you can split the file per your requirements. 

Hope this helps.

Hi, thank you for your reply. 
You are suggesting that already saved scans cannot be edited (crop/filter/etc) anymore by Adobe Scan. Well that's not my experience. Mostly you can but sometimes (when  there is a spontaneous (1) behind the document name you can't. (I can't explain why this (1) appears). 
I have to make all the scans at daytime and the cropping must be done later. 
This irregular behaviour is frustrating. I had to do rescans. It costs a lot of time.

This behaviour doesn't sound familiar?

Regards, Bas

@Bas_H aka Bor de Wolf Have you tried to share the file with other users? 

If yes, shared files will create a copy of the original for you to edit on your device.
