Clean up images captured using a mobile camera

The Enhance Camera Images feature helps clean up images that are captured using smart phone cameras. Using this feature, you can click photographs of a document from your mobile devices and then create a nice-looking, clear, and small-size PDF. It solves your need of ad-hoc scanning without using a standard scanner.

Typically, the images captured using mobile devices have the following problems:

  • Incorrect perspectives
  • Area outside boundaries
  • Shadows
  • Inconsistent lighting

The feature resolves all these problems to some extent and provides you a nice looking PDF.

To enhance a camera image

  • Open the photograph or image of the document in Acrobat.

  • Choose Tools > Enhance Scans.

  • In the toolbar, click Enhance and then choose Camera Image.

  • Additional options and instructions appear in the Secondary toolbar. If necessary, adjust the page boarder by using the blue circle at the corners of the photo. Click Enhance Page.

  • The image is enhanced and a PDF of the image is shown. You can further adjust the default enhancement level by using the slider in the Secondary toolbar.

  • Save the PDF file.
