You can also scan a document from your iPhone and insert the image anywhere from the context (right click) menu. All it’s really doing is removing a few steps from the need to unlock your phone, open the notes app, select the scan document option and share/airdrop the result. It’s simple and effective.

I’ve seen so many students upload images for online exams via things like cam scanner unaware that they don’t need third party solutions. They complain about the time needed to get the images off their phones and onto their laptops for exams because of these supposedly hidden features.

(On Windows you can browse your android’s phone’s photos via the photos app via USB)

Similarly they go to extremes with various oddball apps to make PDFs with cam scanner images in all sorts of orientations with nasty watermarks because they’re unaware of the power of Preview.

Previews signature feature has made life so much easier. The ability to quickly sign W9’s/contracts as a freelancer is a god send

Highly underrated, and highly unknown feature. If someone emailed you a PDF, you can literally sign it and reply to the email all within Mail. Using you saved signature. Quite heavenly.

Also most people don’t know that when you Screenshot a webpage, there’s actually a tab at the top to capture the entire webpage (even if it’s way taller than your screen) as a pdf. Essentially “print to pdf”.
