Having experienced the errors on the scanning to PDF and then converting by OCR, I have discovered something.

Only my scanner, there are several settings. When I fiddled with some of the settings, like resolution, sometimes the screening, and specifically the threshold, I got a much clearer PDF, which gave me a much more accurate OCR for my word processor. This does increase the size of the PDF, but if you delete the PDF file after you have OCR'd it, it shouldn't matter.

Let me know if this helps.
