Google can read text from images
Google has recently announced in their official blog that they are now using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to index and show an HTML version of a scanned PDF document.
In the past, Google only showed an HTML version of PDF’s created with text enabled formatting. But from now, if a document is scanned as an image, Google can also read it and create an HTML version for it (click “View As HTML” in the search results).

I think its a great move by Google. It opens up their indexing skills to so much more information, strengthening their position as the worlds number 1 destination for search.
It can also be good for people looking for rare or specific information, but also for SEO purposes, as you can now find keywords in scanned pdfs!
