You could use

perl -pe '1 while /^dn:/ and s/(=[^,]*[^\\,])=/$1\\=/'

to convert your data:

dn: Document=254 Page=1-2,ou=data,dc=MyCompany
dn: Document=254 Page\=1-2,ou=data,dc=MyCompany


(This presumes no element of your DN name does not start with an equals 
sign; "dn: dc==yes" would not be translated to "dn: dc=\=yes".)

HTH,
John
