Remove OCR

[Phuyck]

Hello,

I have a question.

Is there a way to remove the OCR in a .pdf?

I want to keep the text, but I don't want people to find the text with the search button.

I can print the pdf to an image, but then the quality is to bad.

I have several pdf's in one pdf, made with Framemaker. see attached.

Does anyone have a solution?

regards

Pieter

Then you will get a printout.

If you are printing, OCR is not active. It can only be automatically activated with scans. Printed PDFs should not be able to be OCR'd as they are generally a mix of graphics and text. If you want a graphic version, then do the save a TIF, then import the TIFs back into Acrobat to get the graphic version. Can't understand why you would want to do that, but it should do the job.

Try file>Export>Image. Choose .tif. Create a new PDF from that .tif.
