You may want to protect your intellectual rights or somebody else's, or maybe technology isn't quite here yet and your brand new scanned text contains garbage searchable text (thanks, Adobe). And while there's a (tricky to find) dialogue box where you can 'uncheck' the OCR before you scan, you should be able to delete/edit the searchable text once it's there, yet you can (thanks, Adobe).
Well, some argue you're better off exporting to .tiff and then combine them back into a PDF file... No, you're not. What a load of bollocks! What if there're hundreds of pages, do you really want hundreds of pictures all over the place? That's mental! Not to mention the resulting quality of the tiffs is rubbish.
What you oughta do (right after deleting the useless tiffs, cause I'm sure you spawned 'em in your desperation) is go to printing options and print to PDF. You'll get a nice non searchable version of your PDF.
... yes, this works on XI.
