I thought it already was OCR'd? (Often when someone says they have OCR'd PDF, what they really mean is they have images of pages with text, and hidden OCR searchable text. The OCR searchable text is usually awful quality.)

Either way, the answer is simple - get OCR text and use that. The problem is to get good quality OCR text. Once you have that, it's simple. ABBYY FineReader is one of the best. Adobe Acrobat is commonly used. Take your pick, scan, correct any OCR errors, add any formatting the OCR missed and convert.
