Hi, is there any way to see the time when the file was scanned. I forgot to convert it to pdf for approximately 2 hours. therefore I need the time of scanning to show it to my teachers. Thanks.

You can sort your files by date. It will then display the date at bottom of the files.
When in the All-Scans view, you can sort your files by file name or by scan date. A check shows you the current sort method.
For more details refer to https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/adobescan/android/en/findingfiles.html#sort-by-name-or-date
You can also try this workaround for viewing the time stamp using Acrobat Reader DC desktop app.
1. Click on the document.
2. Click on the File tab.
3. Click on properties, under the description window you will see all the details.
Thanks,
Harsh

Thanks, but these methods shows the time when I have saved the document as a pdf file. I need the time when I have taken the photos. Is there any way to see that?

It shows the time when a scan is saved as PDF, If you have taken photos separately and then converted them to a scanned PDF then you can check the time from the "Details" option of the image from the gallery.

No, I have taken the photos on the app then I forgot to save them and then close the app. After that, I have sent my teachers a different file. After 2-3 hours I have noticed the situation and save the file as a pdf, but I could not find the time of the beginning of the scan.

While you scan something and switch to a different app, it saves your work i.e your scanning work. But, when it finally saves the scan as a PDF then the timestamp is saved along with the scan information like name, location, file size, etc.
So, you can only get the time information when the scan is saved as a PDF.
Thanks,
