I don’t know if these were what you were interested in but they purport
allow some form of hand writing recognition all 3 attempt to do this in
different ways but form what I have read about them they are bulky
compared to a ordinary pen
Logitech io Personal Digital Pen
Nokia SU-1B Digital Pen
Sony Ericsson Chatpen CHA-30

All 3 are in the region of £120-150 ex +VAT
Once you have got the text into a digital form conversion to a pdf
should be relatively simply.
Hope this is of use
