   My solution to this is run the scans through a image processing program   
   and clean it up before saving as a PDF   
      
   By clean it up, I mean first square it to the paper to correct any   
   missalignment caused by the scanner.  Once square, using the image   
   processing tools to make the document more readable.  Mostly color   
   corection, Red,green,blue, brightness, contrast, saturations, and Gamma   
   correction.  Most of the time the gamma correction resolves most   
   problems with the document.  The red,green, blue and other color   
   adjustments can bring out things that were nearly lost when the document   
   ages.   
      
   While I can bring back the color to some photos, I still have not found   
   software that can correct the Kodachrome and Kodacolor aging.
