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.

I haven't come across a FOSS scanner app that comes close to the performance abd features of the popular closed source ones. That's why I use closed source ones that still work when I deny them internet access. Genius Scan and Microsoft Lens both work that way.
