What is a good FOSS Android app to scan documents and immediately convert them to pdfs? On Microsoft Lens, you can take multiple scans and also merge different ones together to create a combined PDF. Thanks.

And it (OpenScan) was never on par with Lens, at the best of times. I hate MS with a long-burning passion, but Lens was best in class. Nothing matched its whiteboard scanning; it was absolutely indispensable, in the pre-COVID times.
