Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, it is a feature request to use it as the scanner and OCR App for paperless-ngx and alike
Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to be able to define a fixed workflow/profile to start automatically after a picture has been taken:
- improve Image (possible already)
- white paper (possible already)
- perform OCR
- Export PDF
- Sync PDF to WebDAV folder (better: send it there directly)
- delete local scan after 5 minutes (or immediately after confirmation sync to WebDAV has been successfull)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Right now I have to do all steps after white paper manually. I use this app to send a PDF to my consume folder of Paperless-ngx
Additional context
If this whole this is too complicated please at least two things: I dont really get the point of "syncing" with WebDAV-Folder. The file is not deleted after it is synced and when I sync it again, I get a duplicate in my consume folder. And: Auto-OCR. I keep forgetting it and Paperless OCR is crap.

Research direction
Use the requested workflow as the starting point and inspect the existing image improvement, white-paper processing, OCR, PDF export, and WebDAV sync entry points. Define how automatic execution, successful-sync deletion, and duplicate prevention should work, then verify the full picture-to-PDF workflow and each requested step.
