No idea, but the IA will process the upload into html, plain text, mobi, 
and OCRd PDF.

If I'm scanning bound books, those end up as indiviual tiff images (one 
per page).  At the end of processing those, they get stuffed into a zip 
file with the suffix "cbz" (Comic Book Zip) and once uploaded, the derive 
task at the IA handles all the OCR work as well as creating those other 
formats.  I'm pretty sure it will do the same with uploaded PDF files.
