Are they single page documents or multipage?

If single page I would not bother with a PDF. A PDF of a scanned image is 
a PDF with a big picture file in it and no real compression.

If I was going to scan documents I would just send the individual pages as 
attachments. Generally a document scanned grey scale at 180 dpi will be 
very readable.
