PDF processing

Through searching Google and then these forums I have learned I can convert scanned TIF images into PDF documents using tiff2pdf. I tried tiff2pdf and it seems to work well.

I would like to go a step further and make these PDF's search-able like the newer versions of Adobe can do.

Based on how I'm starting with a TIF image, are search-able PDF's possible and if so, what Linux application should I look at?

I don't think that you would be able to search the document. The program probably converted the tiff image to eps rather than performing any Character recognition.
