San Francisco, CA – September 24, 2013 – Smile, a developer of productivity applications for Mac and iOS, has released PDFpen® Scan+, a mobile scanning and OCR app, the latest addition to the PDFpen suite of apps.
With PDFpen Scan+, users scan documents, articles, receipts, and more, using the iPhone® or iPad® camera. Scans are cropped, sized to standard paper sizes, and visually enhanced for legibility. PDFpen Scan+ includes OCR (optical character recognition). Once OCR has been performed, the text in the scanned document can be copied for use in another document or email message, or the PDF can be exported with searchable text included.
PDFpen Scan+ enables users to import and export PDFs from popular cloud services, including Dropbox, Evernote, and Google Drive. Documents can also be stored in iCloud and accessed from any iOS device.
“We created PDFpen Scan+ with the mobile office in mind,” said Smile founder, Philip Goward. “With the ability to scan and OCR, all you need is an iPhone or iPad to create a searchable PDF from any paper document. For mobile users, it’s the perfect companion to PDFpen for iPad and iPhone.”
