What you are looking for is optical character recognition (OCR) software. Sometimes it comes with scanners. You can go to www.download.com and do a search for OCR to get some idea of what is out there.

The bundled OCR that comes with scanners is usually pretty basic and falls apart if the document is heavily formatted. To do it right, you need to buy something like Omni Page Pro or Textbridge.
