If you scan, you'll get an image. To convert that to a searchable PDF using Acrobat 6, choose PDF Searchable Image in the settings for Paper Capture (Document->Paper Capture). This will give you a PDF that has the image visible and the text will be searchable.

You only need Acrobat 6 Professional if you intend to build a (native) Acrobat Searchable archive - but only for use with Acrobat or Reader 6+. For use with Acrobat/Reader 3-5, create indexes with Acrobat 5.
