assuming, you're referring to scanned books that are bound in a pdf file, what you need is a OCR-type software that will convert the scanned page into an actual editable text.
i can recommend ABBYY FineReader.
it works quite well, but as always everything depends on the quality of the picture because the worse the image, the more editing you'll have to do on the newly-converted text.
i know there are ways of editing the text in ABBYY but i'm not that savvy with the software. i usually run the scanned text through ABBYY, convert it to a .doc file and then spend quite a lot of time combing through it until i clear out most of the typos.
then you can use calibre to convert the .doc file into mobi.
