    Magic Mode makes scanning multipage documents fast and easy (no need to snap a picture, the app automatically detects the document in the picture). Also, powerful document organization with smart naming and tags. It supports PDF merging too!

  9. PDF Doc Scan icon
     3 likes

    Main point of this app is to scan or select existing PDF documents simply using intent or chooser. Other apps require payment to access their api/sdk or simply don't have a possible way to do it. So they rely on switching between an app ,file chooser and a scanner.
