Turn off auto scan

[fredmrichard]

How do you turn off the autoscan feature so I can compose what should be scanned manually? The autoscan feature incorrectly identifies the area I want scanned.

Thank you for using Adobe Scan.

You can disable auto scan by tapping at the icon on the upper right above the capture screen.  Please refer to "Enabling auto scan" on App Settings — Adobe Scan Help.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I'm finding that the auto scan is very aggressive, as one reviewer put it, which for me means that it wants to go ahead and capture the image as soon as gets anything that resembles a document in frame. Turning off auto capture unfortunately turns off automatically cropping to the document.

I'd like the middle ground .. have it automatically crop to the document but wait until I tap the photo button before it commits.

I appreciate the response. After doing several hours of scanning, I'm thinking that this issue isn't as bothersome as I first thought. I find that the auto capture usually does take place when an accurate crop of the document is achieved, even if the display on the phone shows that it is still working on it. Still it would be nice if auto-crop and auto-capture were separately configurable.

By default, the app automatically looks for a document to scan on startup. You can toggle this feature on and off as follows:

1. Initiate a scan.
2. Tap

Irrespective of the fact if auto capture is on or off on my mobile phone (IPhone), there is always a blue rectangle trying to catch the area to scan.

Unfortunately the Auto capture is never covering an entire page but just the text on the text which makes the scanning incomplete.

What can I do to really switch off auto capture and make my scans manually ?

Thanks for your support !

No. regardless of whether auto scan is on or off, There’s ALWAYS a blue rectangle trying to capture part of the page. I could almost never get want I wanted to be scanned. I could not get rid of the blue rectangle...

[Meenakshi Negi]

If you are referring to the blue outline that occurs to capture the boundary of the document, sorry to say there is no default option to remove that.

You may try capturing the document from a distance. Check if that works for you.

Really….i am surprised I only see one other person complains about this. I personally find this blue outline very annoying, and I can never get what I need to be scanned correctly. Either way more than or mostly, only part of the page. I guess this is not my app. Thanks.
