How to remove "Scanned with CamScanner" from a PDF
BeforeAfter
- 1Open your PDF in the Redact tool and choose Delete. It works on a phone or a computer.
- 2Tap the footer. It lights up on its own, and one tap removes it.
- 3Do the same on each page, then Download. You get a new, clean PDF.
Tap it, it is gone, download
If Delete lights up the whole page instead, the footer is part of the scanned picture. Choose Whiteout, pick a colour close to the paper's, and drag it over the line.
The hidden link goes too
The footer is also an invisible link to CamScanner's website. Delete removes the link together with the footer, and the downloaded file keeps its title, author, app name and scan time as they came. To drop 'Made with CamScanner' or the scan time, open Review in the line under the last page and delete them. After Download, the check reads your copy back and says what changed.
