I’m looking for a document scanning app. I currently have OpenScan installed, but I feel like the only usable setting is the default one which only takes a picture and allows you to crop it.
I’m looking for something closer in processing to adobe scan to pdf, so the end pdf looks more “scan like”.
Is there such an app? What are guys using?

Okay, guys. I’m not that mod, but could we please stop recommending non-FOSS apps? This is a FOSS community, after all.
I hate “powermodding”, but I’m just going to remove the comments now. I usually don’t do that, but unfortunately, all recommendations were closed source, apparently.
making sure the discussion sticks to the topic isn’t powermodding, and there’s nothing wrong with it.
While that’s true, I’m often torn when it gets to removing comments, posts or even people. I’m a free speech advocate. That doesn’t mean that I think offending someone is free speach or being a bigot, racist, *-phobe, etc. is free speech. But I grew up in Germany and one of my parents is Japanese. Both countries had their fair share of… let’s say “issues with free speech” in history. That’s why I usually stick with the stance that a community will mostly moderate itself through downvotes and reports.
With FOSS for Android or FOSS in general, we face the issue that sometimes, there are no viable alternatives for people in the FOSS space, so they’ll have to turn to closed source alternatives. That’s why I usually let the comments up. But this thread was all closed source recommendations, so I removed them. I did so reluctantly, because I honor that people take their time to comment. They probably just didn’t look at the community they were posting in.
Sorry for the long comment, I usually tend to explain myself thoroughly.
I’m still using Open Note Scanner, but seems the last update was already three years ago, so maybe there are better options today.
