# How to scan paper documents using the app
> Learn how to scan paper documents using the app in ServiceM8.
Document Scanner is a job action in the ServiceM8 App that you can use to scan paper documents with your iPhone or iPad's camera. ServiceM8 will auto-detect and scan the document, and once saved, attach it as a .pdf file in the Job Diary as a Document.
**Note:** This feature requires iOS 11 or later.
**To scan a document from the ServiceM8 app:**
1. Tap **Jobs**.
2. Find and tap the job card related to the document(s) to be scanned.
1. From the Job Actions bar, depending on how you have ordered your favourite job actions, tap **Document Scanner** or **More (...) > Document Scanner**. (If you do not have Document Scanner set up as a favourite job action, see [this article](/help-center/app/basics/how-to-customise-the-job-actions-bar).)
1. Hover your camera over the document until it turns green, indicating the area to be scanned. Tap the green button.
***TIP:** A document scans easily if it stands out from its environment. Try placing the page on a bare surface (such as a floor or a clear counter), then scan.*
1. If needed, adjust the corners by dragging the handles until the entire document is captured. When you are satisfied, tap **Keep Scan**. (To scan again, tap **Retake**.)
1. You will see the scan preview in the bottom left. Either scan another page in the document, or click **Save** to finish scanning.
***TIP:** More than one document can be scanned at once. Progressively capture numerous documents, then tap the preview window in the bottom-left of the screen to review or delete documents.*
When you return to the job card, you will see a notification under Diary indicating a new job action has been completed. Upon opening the Job Diary, you will see your scanned document saved as a PDF attachment.
***TIP**: To learn how to delete the document from the job diary, read* [*this article*](/help-center/desktop/faq/how-to-delete-notes-photos-and-other-attachments-from-the-job-diary)*.*
