Same thing happens when I scan business cards to PDF. It pulls the detected text into its own layer so it can do OCR. Fancier systems will separate the text into different layers by font and by angle so that the OCR can run more efficiently.
From the comments:
You cannot scan files directly into Illustrator. I've used it for 11 years. Illustrator has no TWAIN support, and it has no way of knowing how to break up the document into layers even if you could scan into it. You CAN scan a file into Photoshop (if you have the TWAIN driver for that scanner), but it comes in as a single layer, since Photoshop has no way of knowing how to separate the scan into layers either. This video is evidence of forgery.
Secondly, some of the text has clearly been copied and pasted from other areas of the documents. When you drag these parts of the text over each other, they line up perfectly--down to the pixel--imperfections and all.
