New Free Adobe reader treating all scanned PDF text as image

The new Free adobe is treating all scanned text PDF as image.

How do I stop this in the free adobe.

And when selecting read, it tells me page empty.

When I serached, the solution has to do with OCR and the new adobe, the function to work around this issue has been moved to adobe pro.

There is no "new Free adobe".

The "old" Acrobat Reader never had this feature, which is only found in Acrobat Pro.

OCR is available in Acrobat Standard and Pro.

Can you please let me know how to stop scanned text turning blue when I click .

Most documents I work with are scanned text.

I started having this problem recently when I installed the most recent free Adobe Acrobat reader.
