Does Editor Plus offer a 'photo-to-scan' enhancement feature?

Post by sx789 »

Hi everyone,

I’m currently evaluating PDF-XChange Editor and was wondering if it includes a feature that can turn document photos into a proper “scanned” look.

I’m thinking of something similar to apps like Office Lens or CamScanner — automatic perspective correction, especially contrast enhancement, cropping to edges of a paper, shadow removal, clean black-and-white conversion, etc., so that a phone photo looks like a real scan. I need it for digitizing my photos of documents...

Is this possible directly within Editor or Plus edition? Or any plugin available?
If yes, which tool or workflow would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Hi sx789,

PDF-XChange Editor has some basic image-editing features, but it sounds like they would not be sufficient for what you're trying to do. I'd recommend downloading and testing out the free version here:
