I would be very wary of all this scanning in, file conversion using DTP
packages etc, producing data that does not
match the original dimensions.

Perhaps when you manage to find a method etc you could let us know if
the dimensions remain the same ?
Myself among others, would like to scan in old artworks & convert them
to HPGL/Gerber data.

I know that there are services and software available to do this
specifically (about £500-700 for the software last time It was
mentioned) but I cant remember much (it was a year ago it was mentioned)
but I think that the software was called "Scan2Cad"
or that might have been the company...not sure.
