you could but the problem is that if scanned without an ocr function
involved it will be an image file no matter what format it's in, so no
reading is possible without a ocr of your own!
the ones that are say pdf and can be converted to text and read readly by
adoby and say jaws, are those generated in a text editor like word and
printed as a pdf, giving the code behind it the text/word basis for the
reader to scan and give on request.
if he had say abby fine reader and did the scan with that and told it to ocr
the thing at the same time things could be very readable.
hope this aides you in understanding.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JPG and PDF question
To All Listers:
My father-in-law had scanned a few pages of a book into his computer for
me, and was going to send these same pages to me via email. However, when
he scanned these pages into his computer via a Brother multifunction unit,
it had saved each page automatically as a JPG image. Is there a way to
convert the JPG image, which is strictly words, or text, into a PDF or a
word document? Many thanks in advance.
Jerry
