It's possible the camera mounts will have to be higher but with either the fixed or flexible setup it should be easy to find out and fix before you paint it so you'll just have to see.
Yes, I mean the screw holes on the slides. It's hard to say how the wood will have to fit together without realizing precisely where it will have to be. I would imagine that if you made the pieces that connect to the drawer slides and the platens longer it wouldn't matter where on the column they were located but It's really the kind of thing you'll just have to wait and see on. Also, if I recall correctly Daniel didn't really like that design and was thinking about using corner brackets in their place. Something for you to think about.
I've never tried to change my jpegs directly into a pdf. I can't even say what program you'd use for that. I have heard of it working but I don't think I could ever personally live with it because I am forever finding that my cameras have shifted ever so slightly one way or another and the image has tilted somewhat. Scan tailor cleans this up making it irrelevant. Also, a 250 page book scanned with an 8MP camera comes in at over 700MBS. After scan tailor that size drops down to a little over 45mbs and OCR'ing it results in a sub 2MB pdf. Something to keep in mind.
