While scanning documents on Android devices is quick and easy, many users still go through the extra steps of manually converting these images into PDFs and uploading them to Google Drive.

Open your document in Acrobat (available on macOS and Windows), go to Tools > Scan & OCR > Recognize Text. Once the text has been catalogued, go to Tools > Export PDF and export as an Excel file.

The PDF format is meant to be non-editable, but if you scan a document that comes out too light or receive a contract with type that is too faint to read, you need a way to darken a PDF.
