Scan documents automatically to A4 format PDF

Now it's 2023 and as far as i know this problem already exists since 2019… is there finally a solution to this???

Scanning a document using Notes app on iPhone or MacOS and saving as PDF not only puts everything into Letter format size but also creates this super ugly white margin around the smaller scaled original (jpg) scan. Scanning documents with iPhone directly into Finder does exactly the same.

So, yes, i know there is the Files app on iOS that at least does not create this ugly margin and also does not use Letter format… BUT every scanned document / new page has it's very own individual format. And this format is then even based on how close or far you hold the iPhone/camera to the document. Which is sort of logical: the more far away you hold it, the more of the underneath/surrounding surface the document is placed on you'll cut away.

Is it REALLY STILL NOT POSSIBLE to set some standard PDF size for those scans??? This is a suuuper basic feature for a scan tool…

additional thoughts:

Also this camera distance thing… i used to hold my camera quiet close and quiet precisely the same distance for every page. So it took me a while to actually find out about these problems, i was just always wondering why my PDFs end up being so huge in file size. It makes absolutely sense for photography/graphics, but when you just have greyscale simple text documents, then it's quiet weird approach to control the file size by keeping a greater distance with the cameras and cropping more margin… why can't this be implemented with proper JPG-compression???
