Gone are the days when you have to scan a document and share. The digital world has revolutionized in a blink of an eye. But SuperTool did not stop there it seems. It has gone above and beyond converting a doc to PDF and opened the genie from the box. Here comes the Make PDFs Look Scanned tool.

Yes, while you already have the document in its original PDF format, you can now make it look as if it was scanned. You can add some wrinkles to make it look like slightly crumpled paper, or draw and put some icons/shapes and much more!!!

Time For Some Noise!

Thinking if it can add a digital signature? Of course, it can. This unique tool is so stupefying that you do not have to worry when one says to print the PDF document, sign it, and upload it. You can simply add your signature or text (whatever you want) without making it look digital. The ink seems wet (sort of), giving the text an embedded/textured feeling. Isn’t that astounding?! Obviously yes!

More so, the signature or the initials look so real that you would be unable to distinguish between an actual paper scanned or a scanned PDF made to look real.

The destructive filters and the decayed images all look natural, making the PDF (oops, the paper document) come alive.

It Surprises With Every Click!

It’s entertaining as well as helpful for usability to add realism! The tool beautifully adjusts lighting, contrast, and other visual components automatically. Some tools have these functionalities, but their flaws appear manufactured rather than genuine. However, this SuperTool creates unique pieces of art! It gives PDFs an old-fashioned feel, a rich feel. I would say – the dirt, fine lines, and creases are the three types of cool icing on the cake.

It’s Authentic!

The best part I liked the most is that it also adds a sense of authenticity as if the document was originally scanned on a physical scanner. Also, it can protect sensitive information by making it harder to copy or edit the document (but try the Flatten PDF tool if that is your only goal). And it can add a unique look to a presentation or report.

It is among the most secure and reliable web tools I have ever used. You wouldn’t be troubled by malicious links or annoying advertisements. It is entirely trouble-free and performs its function flawlessly. Also, do not worry if you think it will keep your information and spamming you. This tool is the safest to use in this line. I recommend using it at least once and getting the genie out of the bottle.

Conclusion

When I looked at it for the first time, I genuinely could not identify the difference between which is a real paper and which has been made to look scanned! The crumbles, the signature with the ink, the handwritten notes, you are bound to miss this as a PDF-look-scanned but accept it as a real scanned paper.

Indeed, you can surely make your PDF look scanned; converting any PDF scanned document is a breeze. No delays while converting your file. Just upload your PDF File and the process completes automatically. To download the file, all you have to do is simply complete the quick registration process. So, get started today and don’t give any second thoughts. Save paper and go digital!

The post MAKE PDF LOOK SCANNED … PDF TO SCAN appeared first on Super Tool.

Frequently, you’ll be asked to provide scanned documents in PDF format. You may have the actual document in PDF format, but it does not resemble a scanned document. Learn how to make documents look scanned in this short blog post!

Scanned PDFs are images of a particular document, in which you cannot do a text search or pick information to be copied. You can only select an area of the picture. On the other hand, “native” PDFs are digital records that are readily searchable and provide text selection. Furthermore, scanned documents retain a natural degree of distortion, artifacts, and mild picture rotation, while “fully digital” PDFs have not. The scare quotes around “fully digital” is because all PDFs are fully digital, but it is useful to make a distinction between ones with machine readable text and ones just with bitmaps and images.

One approach is printing the original PDF, scanning it, and transforming the scanned image into PDF format. However, this is often time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, not everyone has access to a printer/scanner.

There are, thankfully, websites that do this process for you. SuperTool’s “Make PDF Look Scanned” online tool enables you to do this process effectively. The tool accepts a PDF file as input, interprets it, and outputs a document that mimics a scanned copy rather than the original digital PDF.

This free tool’s “destructive” filters offer each PDF a scanned appearance. The text and visuals will have a “decayed” and analog appearance.

Aged GIF

Old movie reels look that way because they dust and scratches have gotten on the surface of the film. When light is projected through the film, it picks up the aged look and projects it onto a screen. The screen itself may be discolored and wavy adding to an analog look that is classic. Add this kind of effect with SuperTool’s online Grunge Maker.

Add Dirt and Noise to a GIF

Simply adjust the Scanned-ness and Dirty-ness sliders to customize the old look of you GIF. You can add more or less dirt and optical manipulation to make your GIF look old. Too much dirt looks fake, so go easy to start.

Process up to 100 frames of a GIF

The server must process each frame separately and it uses energy, processing power, and memory, so limits are required. But 100 frames is still a lot — most GIFs have fewer frames. If you need to process longer GIFs, shoot us an email at help@supertool.org.

GIF Age Types

• Wear and tear
• Dated
• Antique
• Film grain
• Decay
• Worn
• Rusty
• Oldie
• Timeworn
• Battered
• Noisy
• Dirty
