I thought GIF was the best for Text?
How would a GIF - or other image formats - compare to a PDF as far as readability for a receipt with text and numbers on it?

Since you won't be scanning with PHP anyways, you simply accept the upload for whatever filetypes you want. Scanning in PHP is a mess to do, so it'd be much easier to use C++, C# or even Java to do it.

You are misunderstanding me...
I am thinking of building a simple app using PHP to display a web-form to enter and display the receipt data, and then have a hyperlink which would display an image of the receipt - maybe in a pop-up window or in the original form.
(If I scan things as a PDF, then my app - or whatever - would have to launch Adobe Acrobat to display the PDF receipt which is more cumbersome, don't you think?!)
