Scan your document with Google Drive App

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note phone, and installed Google Drive App. I can scan my important documents (even a book) into PDF and upload to my Google Drive. Google Drive Scan Google Drive App Scan is a REAL intelligent scan, unlike some apps which just take pictures and convert them into PDF, it can actually recognize text areas, and trim and format your picture to fit into a page nicely and neatly, even though the picture may have a large corner where your fingers holding on!

Google Drive Scan Can Recognize the Text Area and Trim Along the Border For You Nicely
