How to scan receipts to PDF without keeping messy photos.

Receipts are easy to lose when they stay as camera-roll photos. A better workflow turns them into clean PDF records with the right context, readable totals and one file you can send or archive.

The receipt-to-PDF workflow

Step 1

Capture or import

Scan the paper receipt or import a photo when the receipt is already on your device.

Step 2

Check the details

Make sure the date, vendor, total and important line items are readable before export.

Step 3

Add context

Add a short note, arrow or supporting page when the receipt needs explanation.

Step 4

Export the PDF

Create one clean PDF for email, accounting handoff, shared folders or your own records.

Before you send a receipt PDF

  • The receipt is not cut off and the total is readable.
  • The date, vendor and payment details are visible if you need them.
  • Any explanation, project name or reimbursement note is added before export.
  • Supporting pages are in the same PDF when they belong together.
  • The final file name makes sense before you email or archive it.
