OneNote for Android: how to scan documents and save to PDF

The Microsoft OneNote for Android application lets you use your camera phone to scan documents and convert the image to a PDF file. The function is useful for those who prefer to make notes on paper, but do not let go of having the information always around.

After conversion, the file is uploaded to the cloud and can also be shared, in PDF format, by email, WhatsApp and other messengers.
