Some decent sized office photocopies will scan to pdf at fairly high
rates. But as someone else said, they pdfs are not searchable.
I think personally I'd be tempted to go through the mags and rip out
any pages I think might just be useful. If you do that, along with all
indexes, you can then have something you can thumb though when you want.
To do a job with OCR software etc it will take you a month of sundays
(as we say in England).
