A cleaner scan starts before capture

  • Use even light and keep the phone parallel to the page.
  • Check page order before signing a multi-page scan.
  • Keep the paper original when the recipient asks for it.

Questions

Can I scan more than one page?

Yes. Capture the pages into one document, then place signatures on the pages that need them.

Is scanning a document the same as scanning a signature?

No. Document Scan creates the PDF. Signature Scan captures and cleans the handwriting you place on that PDF.
