Andreas, Most modern office photocopiers (that I know of) have a feature to scan in a manual, convert it to a PDF file and either email the resulting PDF file to you or transfer it to a USB memory stick. You might want to take a look around your office and see if such a machine is available. Failing that, here in the USA we have office supply stores (e.g., Office Depot, Office Max, FedEx Kinko's, etc) and they have the necessary equipment to do that task for you, for a fee, of course. After you have the PDF files, all you need is PDF - editing software for your PC to put the finishing touches on, like indexing for searches, etc.
