Hello Michael, I'm not sure what you mean by "scanning" in this context. If you have PDFs, they are already scanned or created from text files. If they've been scanned, just go to the PDF file, do VO-Shift-m to get a contextual menu, then navigate down to Open with then right to the list of possible applications and select ABBYY FineReader. You'll then be able to choose HTML from the options available.
If your PDF has been created from a text file, you might get better results by taking a screenshot of each page and using FineReader to OCR each one. It's normal that FineReader prefs are dimmed since they do not exist. I use FineReader regularly and it does an excellent job.
