Only works if you say share a copy

This is the best and easiest free PDF scanner that I've used. I tried multiple others during the Covid pandemics and nothing worked for the free version. This one works great – but only if you use the share a copy button. If you use the share button or try to create a link. It doesn't work at all!

Fantastic

I think I love this application better than Acrobat Pro! This has come in handy so many times and it makes the perfect readable copy every single time!
