I don't want to end up with a flowable text, too much work to do, I am happy with a PDF with a layer of text for searching, bookmarking, highlighting and such.
I'll have a look at the links posted.
Thanks again.

You can also use Acrobat's ClearScan mode instead of exact pdf image, to get a lot smaller pdf files for similar quality.
Also when you've got double paged scans or pdf, you can use Abbyy FineReader because it's very good in automatically splitting the pages, deskewing etc. and then you can process this Abbyy's pdf (saved as pdf image without ocr) in Acrobat's ClearScan mode for ocr-ing and smaller pdf.
I've noticed that ClearScan-ed pdfs are faster to flip through on my e-ink readers than pdfs produced with new Abbyy's 12 or those downloaded from archive.org.
Scan Tailor (for 300 dpi grayscale scans, without upscaling it to 600 in ScanTailor at the end and by choosing b/w instead of grayscale to remove shades and specks) is also great (and free) tool for splitting, deskewing, cropping (eliminating dark and empty margins), despeckling etc. scanned images at once, which afterwards can be ocr-ed in Acrobat(clearscan) or Abbyy.
