Hi Thomas,
Before you upload your content to DSpace, ensure that your have your
PDF-creation-software OCR the scanned files. Acrobat should be able to do
that. http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/acrobat_ocr_make_your_scanned/
Once that OCR'ed PDF gets uploaded to DSpace, DSpace will be able to
extract the OCR'ed text, and make it searchable within DSpace. (Ensure your
media filter is scheduled to run regularly).
If you upload PDF's that don't get OCR checked, you'd have to build a
custom media filter tool, to convert unOCR'edPDF to an OCR'ed PDF, and then
extract the text.
