A PDF, more often than not, contains the TEXT inside, not a picture (bitmap) of the page requiring OCR to extact the text. That is on PROPERLY CREATED PDF files. I've seen lots of people who don't know what they're doing that just "scan pages and build a PDF". In those instances, YES, the PDF doesn't contain searchable text, just bitmaps (images) of every page. But that's not a properly created PDF file to begin with.
