How to add a scan effect to PDF

Sometimes the recipient sees a regular PDF file and demands to send exactly a scan of the printed document.

I don't have a printer, and when I'm asked to sign a document, I digitally sign it, save it as a PDF, and send it to the destination.

But sometimes the recipient sees a regular PDF file and demands to send exactly a scan of the printed document. In this case, you can go for a trick and use the Look Scanned service.

Here you can upload any PDF document and apply various effects to it to give it a scanned look.

Among the tools are:

  • changing the color theme;
  • add border;
  • rotate image;
  • add noise;
  • change resolution.
