I've worked with OCRed PDFs, the main thing that should be obvious is that OCR results range from poor to horrendous. It takes a lot of manual cleanup if a high degree of accuracy is required. Or depending on why you want the text, you can adjust expectations or add layers of software such as fuzzy search algorithms to deal with the issues.
Again depending on the application, the mixed quality of OCR isn't always a deal breaker, but it's not always as simple as it might appear.
