Is there something about these files that tells you this? I get pdf files all the time with graphics and such - the graphics don't change, but I can edit the text. When the scanned doc is in some typeface that I don't have in Adobe, it swaps to my defaults.

If you load the doc into the PDF reader and select the text cursor (a capital T, I think), you can drag accross the text and select it a letter or word or sentence etc.

This cannot be done with an image-content pdf.
