Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today unveiled a smart way to turn the new Samsung
Galaxy Note9 into a portable PDF scanner with the introduction of Adobe
Scan for Bixby Vision. Break free from paper and use the Adobe Scan app
on the Galaxy Note9 to log expense receipts, save business cards, store
class notes, file tax documents for digital safekeeping and so much
more. Using the camera on the Galaxy Note9, Samsung’s intelligent
assistant, Bixby Vision, automatically recognizes documents in its field
of view and suggests opening them in Adobe Scan. Once installed and
launched, Adobe Scan uses powerful artificial intelligence in Adobe
Sensei to automatically detect a document’s boundaries, correct
perspectives, remove shadows and enhance text for a sharp and easy to
read Adobe PDF.
There’s no need to leave Bixby or scroll through pages of apps to find
the right scanning tool. People can access and modify saved scans within
the app or, because Adobe Scan converts an image into an Adobe PDF, they
can unlock additional functionality like search, annotate, send for
signature, review with teams and more by launching Adobe Acrobat or
Adobe Acrobat Reader. A simple physical page now has intelligent Adobe
PDF power.
“With Adobe Scan, you no longer need to keep piles of paper on your desk
or stuff your wallet with receipts,” said Ashley Still, vice president
and general manager, Digital Media, Adobe. “By teaming up with Samsung
and its intelligent assistant, Bixby, we’re providing the most intuitive
mobile scanning experience to Galaxy Note9 users by putting smart
technology in Adobe Sensei and Adobe Document Cloud to work for them.”
“Enabling Bixby Vison to work seamlessly with a powerful app like Adobe
Scan gives our customers the ability to get more done with the latest
Samsung flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note9, than ever before,” said
Elle Kim, vice president, Global Service Partnership, Mobile
Communications Business, Samsung Electronics.
With Adobe Scan on Bixby Vision, the Galaxy Note9 is a powerful
productivity tool right out of the box. Here’s what users can expect:
-
Scan Documents in an Instant: The Adobe Scan integration with
Samsung’s Bixby Vision means that the moment you’re faced with a paper
document, all you have to do is aim your camera at it, and Bixby and
Adobe Scan will handle the rest.
-
Make Your Scans Shine: Once in Adobe Scan, users can enjoy all
of the powerful tools that come with the app, including capture, crop,
clean, rotate, adjust color and brightness, reorder, delete or add
pages, and then save and share.
-
Create Powerful PDFs: With its automatic text recognition
(OCR), Adobe Scan turns any paper item—a document, receipt, form,
booklet or note—into a supercharged, powerful Adobe PDF. Scan an
English-language business card and Adobe Scan, powered by Adobe
Sensei, automatically detects the card, recognizes and extracts
pertinent information and adds it to your device’s contacts.
-
Put Adobe Document Cloud to Work for You: Adobe Scan documents
are automatically connected to the world’s best PDF services in Adobe
Document Cloud. Modify, manage, create and fill forms, sign and so
much more by opening Adobe Acrobat Reader directly from Adobe Scan.
Availability
Adobe Scan will initially be included with the Galaxy Note9, followed by
previous devices that have Bixby Vision including the Galaxy S8/S8+,
Galaxy Note8 and Galaxy S9/S9+. Availability may vary by market. Adobe
Scan is also available as a standalone app on Google Play and Galaxy
Apps.
