Seems like a good application of Amazon's
"mechanical turk" web

transcribe the PDFs. If you were to use Amazon's service, I'd split
the PDF files into smaller files containing 5 pages each and submit
those as the unit of work to the service.
Same problem as OCR. You'd spend
more time cleaning up the results than
it would take to type it in yourself.
