We just wanted to point out that there is a feature to bring in Chord info from a MIDI file (assuming that the file has chords and is not mainly melodic). It's under File | Import | Import Chords from MIDI file.

Band-in-a-Box does not have a PDF scanning feature, but there are all great suggestions of how to do it in this thread. I personally prefer inputting the notes myself to avoid any mistakes in the scanning process. And it helps me to pay extra attention to the music as I do it. It really all depends on your workflow and personal preference though.
