How to Use Android Phone as Document Scanner

Earlier this month, I ran into a problem as I had forgotten to pay my insurance premium on time. So I called up my insurance company and told them about the problem. They agreed not to add any extra charges if I could send them a scanned PDF copy of the premium check written to them and then mail the check later on. For this I needed a scanner quickly but as I was traveling at the moment, I could not find any standard document scanner. Instead, I installed the Smart Document Scanner app on my Android device and used it to scan the check.
