Is there a simple way to convert a scanned prn file to a pdf?
A prn file is usually either a PostScript file or a PCL file. See http://www.frogmorecs.com/arts/what_is_a_prn_file.html
Try renaming the file to have an extension .ps and view it in ghostview (or less the file and see if it starts with "Postscript" at the top)
If so you can convert it to PDF using ps2pdf.
If its a PCL file the search google for "PCL file viewer", download the software and see if you can export it to either PDF, PS or some image format. Then convert to PDF from there.
