If the scans needed touching up, they shouldn't have made it into a PDF in

Wrong IMHO. As my thesis is the pure four-dimensionalism of preserving
content, it's legal (and I'd even *ask* for it) that a good preservation
format will allow later enhancements. Be it fixing some spurious black
pixels, adding textual/OCRed content or whatever.
The person that does the scanning isn't probably the one who actually
prepares the "end-format". The "end-format" should be the result of
an
access to the preserved data, not the result after preservation.
