How to Add or Enter Text in a Document or Form?

Need to fill out a form or add text to your scanned document? Follow these simple steps to enter and edit text using DocScan:

➊ Open the Text Editing Tool

There are two ways to start adding text:

Option 1: From Document Preview

Option 2: From Full Screen Page View

Tap the Text icon in the bottom toolbar while viewing the page in full screen.

Tap anywhere on the page where you want to add text. Or tap the “Add Text” button in the center of the editing toolbar.
A blue text box will appear, ready for you to type in.

You can freely adjust the following text settings:

Font Size: Tap the + or – buttons to increase or decrease the size, or drag the slider to adjust the font size more precisely.
Font Style: Select your desired font in the center section.
Text & Background Color: Tap the A icon to change font or highlight color.
Text Alignment: Align your text left, center, or right.
Resize Options: Use Auto Width or Fixed Size to control how text scales.

Text is placed on the Annotate layer by default, along with images, arrows, shapes, etc.

To move the text forward or backward in layer order, use "Bring to Front" or "Send to Back" at the top of the screen. Once you're done, tap Done in the top-right corner to save the changes.

Tap Save at the top-right corner to save your edits.

If you're filling out a scanned form, simply tap where you want to enter answers and follow the same steps to add text in the right spot.
