I had a similar problem when I printed Elsevier Pageburst books for my son and moved them to the Edge. Try reprinting one of the scanned documents again as a PDF (I know they are already PDF) and see what happens. I do a lot of work with scanned PDFs and there is a free program (doPDF) that prints PDFs and makes them usable on the Edge. Once printed with doPDF the documents become searchable, you can highlight, annotate etc.
