Is there a scanner I could use to scan documents with text and images?
I typed some things up last year, and there are some pictures I just taped into certain parts of it and I'd like to be able to scan it all keeping the pictures where they are and have them surrounded by raw editable text.. Do I need to scan to .pdf, or what?

Does the scanner have this Optical Character Recognition built in, or is it best to make a hi resolution scan into some image format and THEN use some type of software?

Thanks
