You can capture document photos with your smartphone and use the Enhance camera image feature to create polished, clear, and compact PDFs without needing a standard scanner. This feature addresses common issues in mobile-captured images, such as incorrect perspectives, areas beyond boundaries, shadows, and inconsistent lighting. While it may not eliminate all problems, it significantly improves the overall quality of your resulting PDF.
To enhance a camera image:
Open the photograph or image of the document in Acrobat.
From the All tools menu, select Scan & OCR.
From the left panel, select Enhance camera image and then from the dialog that opens, select Enhance.
The image is enhanced and a PDF of the image is shown.
To further adjust the default enhancement level, drag the Adjust enhancement level slider in the secondary toolbar.
If required, adjust the page border using the blue circle handles at the corners of the photo. Select Enhance.
Save the PDF file.
