A scanner basically just takes a picture of a page - lots and lots of random dots which are kinda assembled into letters and words through the magic of the human eye (or - inaccurately - through Optical Character Recognition software). Which is why they're both poor and big. A PDF convertor software thingy is the electronic equivalent of printing the document - character by character, not dot by dot - to an electronic file. Try selecting (and copying/pasting) text out of a PDF. You can do it if it's been "electronically printed" from the original eg Word doc - you can't if it's been scanned.

The offer of Scansoft PDf converter proffesional for free still stands. It will allow you to take your scanned images and put them into a large pdf file then convert them back to text so you can clean them up and store them in a smaller one as text.

They give us PDF Creator at work and its easy to use. It installs itself as a printing option so you just choose any file, send it to print on PDF Creator and it asks you where it wants storing. The quality seems good, I've used it for word texts and CAD drawings.
