No more monthly statements, yearly declaration packets, and other junk cluttering your space. One of my New Year&#8217;s Resolutions was to finally digitize old accrued papers. It&#8217;s like a weight loss program for filing drawers\u2013 let&#8217;s feel the burn! &#x1f4c4;&#x1f525;<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that you can scan papers by taking photos with your iPhone? The results are pretty good. There&#8217;s some filtering that increases contrast to hide lighting irregularities and sharpen text. You can add scans on your iPhone using the Notes app.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s even nicer is that you can initiate scans from your Mac using something called <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT209037\">Continuity Camera<\/a>. This mode will save the scan results directly to your Mac. Here&#8217;s the incredibly useful workflow:<\/p>\n<p>1. Switch to the Finder and right-click on the Desktop or any other folder.<br \/>\n2. Choose the contextual menu command <i>Import from iPhone &gt; Scan Documents<\/i><br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2192 Scanning mode will be activated on your phone.<br \/>\n3. Using your iPhone take photos of your paper documents, and click Save when finished.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2192 A PDF file will be saved to the folder you used in step 1 above.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting PDF will contain all of your scans, one photo per PDF page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a beautiful thing to go completely paperless when it comes to personal documents.
