Show HN: Simple PDF Scanner – fast, one-time iOS scanner app

Hi HN I built Simple PDF Scanner because I was frustrated with bloated scanner apps that require subscriptions.

v1.0 includes: OCR, password-protected PDFs, custom filenames, camera + photo import, A4 support. Planned for v1.1: quality controls, estimated file size, more paper sizes, history.

I’d love feedback – what features do you always miss in simple scanner apps?

Compression

Thanks – compression is definitely useful. I’m adding a quality control slider in v1.1 so users can balance size vs quality. Smarter optimization could be something for later versions.
