Troubleshooting

The questions people ask most when something looks wrong.

What if my phone doesn’t have Google Play services?

Kopi Scan still works. When Google’s document scanner isn’t available, Kopi Scan uses its own camera: take the photo, then drag the corners to the page. Everything else works the same.

A word was read wrong. How do I fix it?

Open the document; under “Text in this document”, tap Edit text, fix the word and tap Save text. Search, Copy text and shared PDFs use your correction; the page picture never changes. Undo my edits brings the original reading back.

I deleted a document by mistake. Can I get it back?

Yes. Deleted documents go to Recently deleted, where you can restore them for 30 days. Delete all my data is different: it is permanent and also empties Recently deleted.

The app closed in the middle of a scan. Are my pages lost?

No. Unsaved scans are kept safe. When you open Kopi Scan again, your pages are offered back so you can continue and save the PDF.

What happens if I forget my backup password?

Use your Recovery Key instead — the same box accepts either — then set a new password in Settings › Backup › Change password. If you lose both the password and the Recovery Key, no one can open the backups, and VMSTA can’t recover them.

Can I import existing PDFs?

Yes. On Documents, tap ⋮ (More options), then Import PDF. Kopi Scan reads the text of the pages so every word becomes searchable. PDFs locked with a password can’t be imported: remove the password in another app first.
