Android PDF quality settings, and turn off automatic scan.

Hi,

I am using the Dropbox app on an IOS phone (IPhone). I mainly use the app to scan documents to PDF format. In the app I have the option to set the quality in which the document is scanned, and I have the option to disable automatic scanning (I prefer to capture the document well myself with the camera and manually start the scanning process).  Once these options are set, the Dropbox app remembers these settings every time I launch it.

My question : how can I set these options on Android ?
Nowhere can I find an option regarding the quality of the resulting PDF. On the other hand, after turning off automatic scanning must be run every time.

    Hey 4greg4 - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this. 

    I just wanted to mention that 'auto' is available on Android and it should be on by default.

    When it comes to the quality of the image, you can post an idea following these tips.
