Forms Creation from pre-printed docs

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I looking for recommendations on what hardware and software to use to create editable forms. What I have in mind is to scan in a pre-printed form and create an editable pdf, that is, a pdf doc in which I can fill in the blanks.

What's a good scanner for this? As long as I'm buying a scanner, it would be nice if it was useful for other tasks, like scanning photos, but that would not be my primary use of it.

Do I need to get Acrobat, or should I get something like OmniPage Pro?
