Can the user interface be worse? It is a nightmare to get a large number of files out of this app, files are hidden when attaching to a pc, select all files not available, when using the wrong option selection is gone again and generated links are for single files. Designed to force users into frustration, do much even that I am willing to spend time on writing a review. And I forgot to talk about the incredible useless naming of scanned documents... Luckily I am running out of characters...

There's no direct way to save scans to SD card you have to have it saved to Cloud then go in there and manually save it to SD card and that's too much work. Adobe has known about this for 4 years per on Adobe forums from Adobe staff. Nowadays there's no excuse not to have the app set to save it directly to SD card it's not that hard if they actually got people that are actually recently educated on mobile app development. Which appears they got the bottom of the barrel people

I'm uncomfortable with allowing Adobe to store my most sensitive documents. The scanner doesn't by default download the document to your device - and then afterwards delete it ( and hope and pray that it's also deleted from the cloud ). For this reason, I'm deleting the app in favor of an app that doesn't require the user to be connected to the cloud.
