DB scan level to avoid pdf edges?

Does Dropbox app scan have a level feature similar to that for iPhone camera?
I'm having a hard time scanning documents into Dropbox files on the DB iPhone app - scanning document into pdf without dark edges.  It seems the only way you can scan without uneven edges is to have iPhone absolutely straight (almost impossible).  
Please help - I'm soooo tired of editing pdf scans to remove edges and rarely get that right when I try; it is very difficult it is to use the scan cropper to get shape consistent and even.
Thank you, Judith

    Hi amcoffice, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you clarify what you mean by a level feature? Do you not have any darker surfaces on which to scan documents?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Not sure you understand the issue.

      Yes, I have (and use) dark surfaces as background when using Dropbox mobile app to scan documents with my iPhone.  Does Dropbox scan have a level & grid feature similar to that on the iPhone camera?

        Currently there isn't a feature like that on the app.

         

        If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!
