That was an OK scanner app, until it stopped working on my phone (Xperia 1 IV) after an update, couldn't handle phones with multiple lenses. Also why sharing is jpg by default. Whe a document is scanned as opposed to photographed it because I want a printable PDF file with the right adjustments to look good on print.

doesn't generate searchable pdf. Update: OCR was enabled, maybe I didn't realise it was a manual step, or that you need to do it twice the first time, either way on best quality it didn't do a good job of it... it also doesn't detect document edges very well and AutoCAD doesn't seem to work, had to manually click button.

It does if you enable and OCR the document first. If you have any issue please open an issue at https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner/issues

Cropping not working as well before the update. Before you could crop to a small picture and then undo crop borders if necessary no problem. Now the document turns all white when you try to undo crop borders. It was that way before the previous update.
