Actually scanners generally scan into an image file or files(multipage
scan). Programs that accompany the scanner or third party programs convert
the image file(s) into other types of files. A PDF file is a bit peculiar,
in that it was originally an adobe format file. If it's a document that was
scanned, then some sort of graphics to text conversion needs to take place
before the text is usable.
If the image is directly converted to a PDF file, it will generally still be
an image. An image can also usually be imbedded as an image in a word doc
file, although the file size may change considerably.
Sometimes, utilities that are included with scanners have problems
converting to multipage PDF files.
