CamScanner – Phone PDF Creator
I scan magazine articles, newspaper items, anything not already digital that I want to read/use later. I have even used it to file legal documents that required signatures.

CamScanner turns your phone into a scanner and Fax. With CamScanner, you are able to digitize any paper documents by photo shooting. Simply take a picture of any paper documents such as receipts, whiteboards, notes, agreement and so forth, and CamScanner can auto-crop image, enhance image quality and create an industry standard PDF file. And the scanned documents can be shared via Email, faxed via Internet, uploaded to cloud like Dropbox, Google Doc, Box.net, and managed by tag, copy, move or search.
