ML Kit Document Scanner (PDF)

Add a Scan document option to the file upload dialog — the user scans up to 5 pages and your web app receives a PDF like any other upload.

The Document Scanner feature adds a Scan document option to the standard file-upload chooser. The user can scan up to 5 pages with the camera; the app produces a PDF and uploads it through the standard <input type="file"> flow used by your web app. It is powered by Google's ML Kit Document Scanner.

How to Enable:

Turn the feature on in Config.java:

public static final boolean ENABLE_ML_KIT_DOCUMENT_SCANNER = true;

Set to false to hide the Scan document entry.

User Experience:

1. On your web page, the user taps an <input type="file">.
2. The app shows an upload dialog with entries such as Scan document, Take photo, Capture video, and Choose from gallery (depending on the input's accept attribute).
3. Tapping Scan document launches Google's ML Kit scanner: it detects edges, crops and enhances each page, allows adding more pages, and returns a PDF.
4. The resulting PDF is fed back into the <input type="file"> — your web app receives it exactly like any other uploaded file.

Notes: Requires Google Play Services (available on all standard Android phones with Play Store). Result format is PDF, maximum 5 pages per scan. Gallery import inside the scanner is allowed by default.
