You don't need Acrobat to scan the document. If your scanning application doesn't have the ability to save as .pdf, THEN you need Acrobat to create the PDF out of the resulting file. BUT, that's the least of your worries. In order to make the document searchable, you need to run OCR on the scans. Google OCR (or Optical Character Recognition) for more info on that. Now, Acrobat Pro does have the ability to do OCR. It didn't work worth beans in Acrobat 7 and I haven't tried 8 yet so you may want to look into a better OCR application.
