How do I scan a document to PDF with my phone?

Scan to PDF by capturing photos of your document with your device camera or uploading images; the tool auto-detects edges, corrects perspective, enhances contrast, and combines the pages into a clean multi-page PDF. It all happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
