    Hi Richardb79083430,

    I believe you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader application.

    When you scan a document through Adobe Reader application it saves the page in pdf format containing an image (non OCR, but unless you do not run OCR (Optical Text Recognition) on the file it would not let you to access the text.

    And unfortunately this feature is only available in Adobe Acrobat.

    Regards,
