Use the ABBYY FineReader. It is OCR software for text recognition and PDF conversion.
If you are scanning directly from a hard copy, open ABBYFineReader on any public desktop in the Scholars' Lab, and follow its prompts to create a searchable/editable scan that you can save in a file format of your choice.
There are licenses for ABBYY FineReader Professional 12 on all of the Scholars' Lab public machines, or you can purchase a copy for yourself at www.abbyy.com. If you'd like to try it out first, you can download a free trial or use the online version. PLEASE NOTE: the Lab has purchased educational licenses for ABBYY Fine Reader, so NetBadge AUTHENTICATION IS REQUIRED to access it.
