How to Scan Book Pages to PDF

Scan book pages into an image-based PDF; extract text separately with OCR.

Quick steps

  1. Open the scanner. Visit pdfoncall.com/photo-to-pdf on your phone.
  2. Photograph each page. Keep the phone parallel to the page to avoid trapezoid distortion.
  3. Repeat. Snap as many pages as you need. Reorder if needed.
  4. Download PDF. Save the multi-page PDF.

Extract text separately

Run the resulting PDF through OCR to download a separate TXT file. You can search and copy that text, but the image-based PDF stays unchanged.
