It depends. There are unix utilities to extract images from PDF files, 
but that may mess with some scanner's automagic built-in OCR stuff (i.e. 
the scanner will interpret parts of the image as text, and you won't be 
able to extract it properly, and it will mess the upload, and the FSM 
will kill a kitten).

You could also use pdftoppm to rasterize the PDF, but that will incur in 
a quality loss. And we the geotards are pretty picky about raster 
quality loss :-)
