Paper to PDF
Scan a piece of paper from your phone and convert it into a PDF file.
Assuming you don't have access to a high-quality printer/scanner, we need to find alternative ways to take your paper and turn it into a scanned document, ready to be shared. Your phone most likely has a really powerful camera that we can use to make a PDF. Let's find a scanning app that works well for you and then send it up to our Google Drive. So you can share and store it.
