That is Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and is a whole different topic.
There are free OCR applications around, do a search. Sometimes come bundled with
scanner software. If you can get it to embed images in the correct place and
observe formatting then you will get small files.

When it comes to Gimp and PDF all you can do is compare file size. 

A quick test. For a 3 page (A4) test, black text on white background, the pdf
came out slightly smaller than the 3 layer gif.
