## Description

Tired of PDF scans that come out blurry and gray? PDF Scanner AI has Sharpen Text — it makes photographed printed documents look typed, while keeping your real page: the background, colors, layout, and your signature.<br><br>It&#39;s also a full document scanner: scan to searchable PDF, run OCR, capture IDs and books, and compress, merge, or split PDFs right on your phone.<br><br><br>✨ WHAT IS SHARPEN TEXT?<br>Point your camera at a printed letter, contract, receipt, or form. Sharpen Text erases the blurry printed ink and re-types it razor-sharp — in the original ink color — so the page still looks like your real document, but reads like it was typed. Your signature and handwriting are left untouched.<br>(Works best on clean printed documents.)<br><br><br>🎛️ THREE WAYS TO RENDER YOUR PDF<br>• Keep Background — your original photo with an invisible, searchable text layer<br>• Remove Background — a clean white page with crisp typed text<br>• Sharpen Text — a Layout PDF mode: keep the real page, make the printed text typed-sharp<br><br><br>📄 A FULL DOCUMENT SCANNER<br>• Automatic edge detection, auto-crop, and A4 straightening<br>• ID card scanner — front and back on a single page<br>• Book scanner<br>• QR code &amp; barcode scanner<br><br><br>📥 OPEN ANY PDF YOU ALREADY HAVE<br>Import a PDF from your phone or cloud, or open one straight from Gmail, Drive or your browser — then use every tool on it.
