Hi, the PDF plugin should "work" with any pdf file, regardless of what program produced it. Whether there is any extractable text within that PDF file is another matter. When you use Acrobat with a scanner, it is only creating images of the text. The pdftohtml converter can't extract text from images. I know that some versions of Acrobat actually do some Optical Character Recognition when you scan in documents, and this text can be extracted, although it normally has quite a few spelling errors.
