How can I quickly and easily increase the contrast on every page of a PDF? [more inside]

I need OCR software which will scan a page of a book and then produce an output which has the image of the scanned page on one side and the scanned text on the other. So: side A = perfect copy of the original page; side B = the text as processed by the OCR software. Does such a thing exist?

I am thinking of archiving a student newspaper which goes back nearly a century. However the money simply isn't there to go to a corporation to do it-- does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about doing this in-house and on a tight budget?

I need to convert a scanned pdf to searchable text, without printing it out and scanning it back in using OCR. Also, I'd like a cheap or free solution since I'm not likely to use it often ever again.
