Can't send pdf using Gmail

I've been using Scannable for awhile now.  I've been able to e-mail my scans as pdfs directly from the app using Gmail until today, after the latest update of the app.  Now, even though I have the default setting as pdf, I can only use Apple's horrible e-mail app to send pdfs, when I try to use Gmail, it sends them as pngs.  No matter what I try.  What gives?!?!?

Hi.  It appears something changed - support request required here I think,  but first try uninstalling and restart/ reinstalling the app.  Make sure you back up any saved files.

Sorry for the problems - there is an issue in the latest version of Scannable that does make this process a little more cumbersome.  

 

Instead of choosing Send>>Share>>Gmail, try Send>>Share>>Open In...>>Gmail.  That should send the file as a PDF.  This is definitely NOT our intention, and we should have this issue resolved in the next version of Scannable.  

 

Thank you for your understanding!

P.J.

That worked.  So it's an acceptable workaround.  Thanks for the solution, noting the issue, and promising to fix it.  

 

(Scannable is still the best free scanning app there is, I think.)

This issue should be resolved in Scannable 2.1

Hi, I am having the same issue.  I used to be able to send PDFs with Gmail without any issues, but now on both of my devices I am receiving an error that says Failed to Send.  I tried both ways of share as well as open in, and both won't work.

Hi.  OS? Device?  How big are the PDF files?

after you have scanned, instead of selecting 'SAVE', select 'SEND'.  For me (iOS), 'SEND' will then allow me to 'share' as a PDF.  However if click 'SAVE' it will save to Camera Roll as a PNG (even though have chosen file type on scan as PDF).
