To quote my comment

With PHP I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, how about getting the user to scan the PDF and then upload the PDF?

For example you could just get them to scan all the PDF's as .jpeg 's or even .pdf 's and then upload them as normal.

However you could look at ActiveX plugins for internet explorer that support this.

Or third party software that uploads via FTP to a web server:

For Chestysoft's csXImage I don't think a plugin with PDF support exists, however it can write PDF's. See http://www.chestysoft.com/ximage/manual.htm#sect1.8.9

csXImage can save images to PDF files. The images are always saved one per page, with the page size set equal to the image size.

And further up the manual:

The following file types are supported: .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .png, .wbmp, .wbm, .pcx, .psd, .tif and .tiff.
