Document Scanner app is a commercial paper document scanner app that many had to upgrade from the free version with limited options to the full feature paid one. Yet, many do not have the slightest idea that there is an open source free alternative app that does the same.

Open Note Scanner is a free mobile scanner app for Android devices that enables you to scan documents, paper, cards, handwritten notes, art, or even your shopping receipts. Then do all the heavy lifting for you as automatically adjust the image aspect, contrast and save it in a high quality PDF format.

It also supports the automatic scan of preformatted pages with QR Code and
action indicators. PDF file with the pages are available on the application
website, in the releases section.

The only downside for this app is it needs access to OpenCV manager as it has to be installed, which you can get from OpenCV.org.

It is also possible to launch the application from any other application that asks for a picture, just make sure that there is no default application associated with this action.

The app does not collect any information about your usage, or share any data with any third-party.
