The uploaded PDF contains just the scanned page images or does the PDF already have the OCR text before it gets to Google?

It does not need to have the OCR done before uploading. This is handy if your scanner doesn't come with ocr software, as ABBYY is somewhat pricey. But I don't think Drive attaches the ocr to the file. I think it only stores that data with Google. That's fine for me but might not be suitable for others.
