   [Having read the other responses, including yours:]   
      
     As you have an (oldish) (Android) smartphone, you might want to try   
   some of the scan apps which were recently discussed in   
   comp.mobile.android.   
      
     As I mentioned there [1], the scan function of the Google Drive app is   
   quite good and handy, because you only have to point at the document and   
   it 'snaps' to it and 'scans' it, to PDF or JPEG. As this app just   
   'grabs' the document and leaves everything outside the document off,   
   size is irrelevant, so 8.5 x 14 (legal) paper documents should be fine.   
      
     I/the_thread also mentions other scanning apps, such as 'PhotoScan by   
   Google Photos'.
