HI All, I am newbie here, mat I ask for the feasibility for Glideapp.

The mobile scanner app need to:

1. auto correct/clean up and chop the image
2. provide couple of field let user to fill-in information
3. convert images into pdf
4. send pdf and information by email when user press upload (no need to Glide Table)

may I ask for some hints if I need to develop a app like this? is these possible in Glideapp??

I doubt you can do this natively. You might have to find an external service that helps scanning an image URL as your input, convert it to PDF, then send the file via email.
