    Photoshop can do the scanning but u may need a virtual printer to create the pdf file.

    To do the multi page PDF use a virtual printer.

    Try this program

    http://www.filepedia.com/desktop_software/word_processing/pdfcreator.cfm

    It gets installed on your computer and makes your computer think that its got another printer attached.

    Though its not really there. When you try to print in Word or some other program just clci kthe new printer that is what the pdf program will be called then say print and then that will activate the pdf creator and ask u where u would like the file to be uotputted to and then it will create it and u just have to go to the location u told it to create in and it will be there in a pdf format.

    I hope that clears it up. :)

    If you need anymore help feel free to ask.
