[QUOTE="andreslfc, post: 1801747, member: 400659"] Thank you for your responses. I'll elaborate on what my workflow is to hopefully give a better explanation. I do bookkeeping work for external clients, I receive photos of their receipts via a Webmail account only accessible from my mac (unfortunately I don't have control over this as it is the clients IT guy that locked it that way and he is too freaked out about Cyber security to make it differently). I like to upload all the receipts in a tidy manner, so I like them to be in PDF format, and I like them to be cropped so that only the receipt is visible. Currently what I do, is download all the receipts to Genius Scan on my iPhone, crop the photos and export the scan back to my mac via AirDrop. This way works, however it is very time consuming when you are doing anywhere between 10-30 receipts per day. I have sometimes used Preview on my mac to crop the image, however Preview only crops with an exact Rectangle (90 degree angle on every corner) so if the receipt is mis-aligned, I'm unable to crop it correctly. I know there are ways to do this with Photo editing software like Photoshop (but it's a bit overkill to buy photoshop just for this), I've tried Gimp, and although it works, it is terribly slow to the point that it's easier to do the Mac-iPhone-Mac method. I may just be too picky about this that's why I can't find any app that does this, as no one really cares to go this extreme, but I just wanted to see if by any chance anyone had found anything.
