Description
Thank you very much for this app!
It would be great if we could have a setting to automatically export to PDF, with default settings.
At the moment, it takes 3 taps to export as PDF, while other apps like OneDrive just take 1 (which is the "Done" button).

Also, when I clear the export folder (e.g. moved the docs to my PC), the scanned documents stay listed in the app. I understand this is because the exported PDFs are different files than what's in the app. But it would be nice if we could somehow "only keep the export PDFs", and not have to maintain two sets of files.
In other words, as soon as I export as PDF, I'd like to app not to keep a saved copy of the scanned document.
Not sure if this is already possible - otherwise, another setting for this would be great!

Thank you very much!!

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing the current three-tap PDF export flow and how scanned documents and the export folder are stored; clarify whether automatic PDF export and removing the saved scan are separate settings. Done means the requested export behavior works without leaving an unwanted duplicate in the app.
