   I doubt that any app exists for this. There is no "generic" USB scanner   
   protocol - so maintaining an app like this would mean a lot of work and   
   money to spend for it to support existing scanners on the market. Since   
   only a very small number of people would ever like to connect their old   
   USB scanner to an Android device, I don't think, that any company will   
   offer such a thing now.

   picture of a document using the camera of the phone and create a PDF
