Other than the other issues found and fixed, you're also trying to treat a Parse.File like a Parse.Object.

You can't call set(column, value) on a Parse.File, as it is just a file. Once you save the file you add it to your object as a column.

In your case that means that the UserID and Address columns have to go on your Scan class. Also I would suggest you change the UserID column to a pointer and name it User as it will make queries much easier, e.g.:

  function saveDocumentUpload(objParseFile)
  {
     var documentUpload = new Parse.Object("Scan");
     documentUpload.set("Name", "");

     documentUpload.set("DocumentName", objParseFile);

     var user_id = $('#user_id').val();

     var address = $('#address').val();

     // create a pointer by assigning just an ID
     var user = new Parse.User();
     user.id = user_id;

     documentUpload.set('User', user);
     documentUpload.set('Address', address);

     documentUpload.save(null, 
     {
        success: function(uploadResult) {
          // Execute any logic that should take place after the object is saved.

        },
        error: function(uploadResult, error) {
          // Execute any logic that should take place if the save fails.
          // error is a Parse.Error with an error code and description.
          alert('Failed to create new object, with error code: ' + error.description);
        }
     });
  }
