Scanning Documents (iOS)
On iOS the Songs app uses the device’s camera to add scanned paper documents to your library. Scanned documents are saved as PDF image files and can be auto-scrolled, annotated and enriched with metadata.
Note: PDF images cannot be converted into a native Song file format. The recognition of chord symbols and the auto-creation of chord charts require text-based PDFs. (See PDF Files to learn more.)
