I need to insert documents that i scanned into pdf files,
PDF is generally an end-of-line (non-reusable) format*.
It's best always to scan to an image format like JPG or PNG, and save
those files. Then if you need a PDF, make it from the JPG or PNG files
afterwards. You can then also re-use the JPG or PNG images in other
applications like OO.
* Actually not wholly true: you can sometimes extract the images back
out of a PDF using pdfimages or similar, the same as you can sometimes
get the text back with pdftotext (or both with pdftohtml -- see
http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/). But it's safest to treat PDF as a
final-form of data, not an intermediate form.
