Scan receipts to PDF for expense claims
Turn a pile of paper receipts into one clean, readable PDF.
Scan Receipts to PDF: what you need to know
Expense claims usually need receipts as one PDF. Lay each receipt on a dark surface, scan them one after another with your phone, and FilesForU crops, straightens and sharpens each one — the B&W filter makes faded thermal receipts easier to read.
Save them all as a single PDF to attach to your claim, and run OCR so amounts and dates can be searched later.

Questions & answers
How do I scan long receipts?
Hold the phone further away so the whole receipt fits, or scan it in two parts as separate pages.
Which filter is best for receipts?
B&W gives the most contrast for faded thermal paper; Magic keeps a cleaner colour look.
Can I search amounts later?
Yes, if you turn on OCR when saving, the receipt text becomes searchable.
