This is ZTE Blade A71 and today I would like to demonstrate how you can scan a document
0:05
using this device and later transform it into a PDF file. So to begin with, check whether your system has the Google Drive app
0:17
Usually it comes pre-downloaded or pre-installed, if not just get it for free from the Play
0:21
Store app, as you can see this one. Now we can just go ahead and launch the Google Drive, sign in if necessary, then tap on a
0:29
little plus sign at the bottom right corner, you know what, prior to continuing I'll remove
0:34
all the files that I had here previously, like so. So now tap on this little plus sign over here, choose the scan option, grant Google Drive
0:42
the camera permission. Once the viewfinder or the camera interface opens, just take a document that you wanted
0:49
to scan, here I have this little sample laid flat and straight in front of you, and take
0:58
a good picture of the document in question, make sure that it is aligned correctly, make
1:04
sure that it is all straight and pretty. Then once you're ready to take a scan, tap on the shutter button of the camera, then
1:12
look at the result that you've got. If you're satisfied with it, you can proceed, if not you can retake the photo by tapping
1:20
on this cross sign. I'll actually go further since the result is good enough for me
1:26
Now at the following page you can crop the document, even if your original scan wasn't
1:33
100% straight and aligned, you can fix it at this little interface
1:40
So I'll probably crop it a little, make it more aligned, trim off the edges, like so
1:51
let's say. Then I'll tap on the done button, here is the document that I've got, looks alright
1:59
Now in order to save it, just tap on the respective save button over here, at the following page
2:04
you can rename the file if needed, I'll rename it to scan, let's say why not
2:13
Then choose the account that it will be saved to as well if you want to, or if you have
2:19
multiple accounts used. As well as you can change its path, where it will be saved to exactly, at your Google Drive
2:26
Once you're ready to finally save the document, just tap on the save button over here, and
2:31
here we have our pretty scan. So as you can see, it's not just a photo turned into a PDF, it's a real deal scan
2:46
All the colors were washed out, in black and white, looks like a scan to me, and obviously
2:57
it is a PDF file, so all the goals that we set for ourselves at the start of this video
3:02
were successfully fulfilled. Alrighty, so, thank you so much for watching, thanks for your attention, and buh-bye
