Occasionally I've used the camera on my iPhone to take a picture of a document and then email the picture to a recipient. This has worked reasonably well, but also one can use the Notes App to do the same, plus a few more options. You can use your built-in Notes App to scan documents, save as a PDF file, or AirDrop the document to your computer. Although I haven't tried it yet, I suspect this tip would work on your iPad as well.

Open the Notes App from your home screen. Open a new note, tap the write button, then tap the camera button located at the bottom of the screen. Tap Scan Documents (if that's what you want) from the list of options that pops up.

The camera will open, which you should aim at the document you want to scan. The app will highlight the document in yellow, then it will either automatically capture the image or you can tap the white button to take a photo. You'll be given the option to adjust the margins or edit as needed. Save the document and then it can be sent as a message, email, or used in a PDF. Or you can use AirDrop to send it to your computer, which I just tried and it worked fine. It goes into your downloads folder.
