Adobe Scan Smartphone App Had 750,000 Downloads in First 12 Days, Says CEO

The recently introduced Adobe Scan app, which turns a smartphone or tablet into a “PDF creation tool,” had more than 750,000 iOS and Android downloads in its first 12 days, CEO Shantanu Narayen said on a Tuesday earnings call. In addition to creating PDFs, Adobe Scan also can perform scanning and “intelligent text-recognition” functions when integrated with Adobe Document Cloud software and services, Narayen said. Through Adobe Scan and other tools, the company “is focused on delivering innovative capabilities to enable PDF creation in the mobile era,” he said.
