Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

vFlat is so good! Or at least used to be. Haven’t used it in a few years

I use CamScanner app on android, you can take the pictures and automatically convert them to a single pdf all from your phone

adobe scan is free.

it will automatically sense the corners of the page and crop for you.

no watermark. (camscanner probably will add a watermark)

I use the turboscan app to do what you're describing. But I don't know if that's the best actual process, probably just the cheapest.

Because of the OCR built in, I use a czur scanner for things I actually want to be able to search.
