Adobe Scan has a new tool — and it’s inspired by none other than Photoshop. In an update rolling out October 15, the mobile app Adobe Scan gains a new healing tool to remove imperfections with a brush of the finger. Updates to Acrobat and Document Cloud also include the option to edit PDFs from a smartphone.
Building on Adobe Scan’s existing tool that uses artificial intelligence to automatically clean up the document background, the new tool works similar to the healing brush inside Photoshop. Brushing over the imperfection marks the spot to remove, and the app uses the surrounding pixels to fill in the gap that’s left.
Adobe says the tool works for fixing creases, folds, stains, smudges and more — even rings left by a coffee mug. The tool works best on imperfections that don’t intersect text, but can also be used to remove logos or a line of text.
On the Acrobat Reader app, the option to edit text, similar to the tools inside the desktop program, is now available to Document Cloud subscribers. The new tools allow users to erase, add or change text, adjust formatting, and change lists. With the update, images can also be added, rotated, and resized.
The mobile app also includes a new search tool that will search through all recognizable text in the Document Cloud. Previously, search on the mobile app looked only in the document names.
Inside Document Cloud, subscribers can now star projects for faster access, with marked PDFs now appearing at the top of the home view across devices.
Expanding on earlier features that allow for sharing PDFs with an editable link and online review by users without the Acrobat software, a new shortcut streamlines the process. Using the @mention in a comment will automatically launch an online review. The software automatically sends the invite to the mentioned user.
Additional shortcuts launching today include a one-click compress, as well as one-click password protection with new shortcuts in the file menu for the desktop software. Acrobat also includes a new Prepare Forms tool designed for getting multiple signatures.
Adobe Scan is a free mobile app for iOS and Android. Acrobat is also a free mobile download, but some features, including the new option to edit PDFs, require a subscription to Adobe Document Cloud.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
