    You need to run text recognition (OCR) with the conversion; this will convert text in a scanned image to real (editable) text.

    What did you pay for: Acrobat, or the ExportPDF service?

    Both of these can do OCR.  If you tell us what you use, someone can give you detailed instructions how to use it.
