Answer 1

If you are looking for simple PDF functionality you might try this Simple PDF for Android there does not seem to be much else available. If you need OCR Suggestions for Android OCR as to the rest of it you are asking multiple questions, I suggest taking it one step at a time and asking one question per problem you encounter.

Answer 2

Here's an API that looks promising.

"CamScanner API enables your application to automatically detect page borders and smartly remove background. Enhance your image with up to five modes to make the contents clearer and more readable. Return processed documents to your app in JPG or PDF format."
