The PDF import does not know the dpi setting used for the original scans, and defaults to a very low value (72dpi as i recall, where scanned text should normally be at least 300dpi). Note also that PDF isn't a good way to store images, as the JPEG compression tends to be lossy and the images can deteriorate each time you load and export them (in any program, not only gimp).

What you are actually doing is converting the PDF vector format to a bitmap image and editing that. Text will then only be sharp at the resolution you used for the import. You may find inkscape or sk1 preserves the text better.
