How to remove "Scanned with CamScanner" from a PDF
BeforeAfter
The same receipt, before and after. The rest of the page stays exactly as it was.
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.
Three taps
Tap it, it is gone, download
Delete outlines the footer on its own, so you can see what one tap removes.
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.
Nothing left behind
The hidden link goes too
Under the footer sits an invisible link. Delete takes both.
The footer is also an invisible link to CamScanner's website. Delete removes the link together with the footer, and the downloaded file keeps no title, author or scan time from the original.
Nothing is uploaded
