What is a good alternative to Adobe Scan on Android? I used to use CamScanner many years ago, but I try to make a best effort to avoid apps developed in China--not always possible.
# ADOBE ALTERNATIVES FOR LINUX
Adobe just announce a new terms of service that say they will scan your content and do whatever they want with it. This privacy AND copyright infringement, along with their new ridiculous licensing subscription has a lot of people looking for alternatives.

OSS Document Scanner works good. Available in F-Droid. Apply the magic wand "White Paper" filter.
