Description

Which app is your issue for

Document Scanner

Version

v1.19.1 Build 140

What platform are you using?

Android

OS Version

Android 16

What happened?

I just noticed that most documents synced via "Sync documents PDFs" are either completely blank or have some blank pages, but some are completely correct. I can't find common reasons for why it happens with some and doesn't with others right now, any new documents I just made didn't have this happen to them.

The files seem to keep their size but you can't see the images and there's no OCR data on blank pages. Ticking on or off the OCR export in the sync settings doesn't change anything. I'd need to test more to understand this, does it happen to anyone else?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Android with Document Scanner v1.19.1 Build 140, using the “Sync documents PDFs” setting and comparing blank or partially blank PDFs with correct ones. Check whether changing OCR export affects the result, and treat the issue as resolved when synced PDFs consistently preserve their page images and OCR data.
