I need help finding an alternative for a tool like Adobe scan to scan documents and make PDFs out of them. I've tried out OpenScan, while it is decent, the scanner doesn't recognize the page boundaries that well, and adding new pages requires quite a few clicks, which makes scanning long documents cumbersome. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I guess you are looking for an android app? I use Oss Document Scanner, and I am relatively happy with it https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner

Another tool is paperless ngx. Although it is a bit more than just a scanner Programm.

Paperless is not a document scanner. Its purpose is to manage documents after they've been scanned. The only scanning-related thing it does is OCR.

Paperless is not only a document scanner it also indexes them which is awesome

Does the client app have some advanced scanning capabilities, or what do you mean when you're calling "paperless" a document scanner?

Webapp can do more than the mobile clients https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx
