I have several reports that I am scanning so that I can create searchable PDF documents out of them. If I scan the document as an editable text document, (in which I lose most of the formatting), I can create a searchable PDF file. If I scan the document into a "text as image" format (and keep my formatting), and then create a PDF out of that, I am unable to search the document for keywords.

Is there anyway to have a searchable PDF file made from a scanned document that has not lost it's formatting?
