Scripted OCR doesn't let me script finding text, manual OCR does

When I script the OCRing of an image PDF, it creates bounded boxes and can't find text unless the cursor is in that particular bounded box.

However, if I manually (Enhance Scans > Recognize Text > In this file > Settings > Output = Editable Text and Images, OK) OCR the file, the findtext command works.

Document is already open when I run this VBA script:

Set aApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set aAVDoc = aApp.GetActiveDoc() 
Set aPageView = aAVDoc.GetAVPageView() 
Set aPdDoc = aAVDoc.GetPDDoc() pageCount = aPdDoc.GetNumPages  

' Get PDF OCR'd 
For curPage = 0 To pageCount - 1 
     aPageView.GoTo curPage 
     aApp.MenuItemExecute ("TouchUp:EditDocument") 
Next curPage  

rtgFound = aAVDoc.FindText("accordingly", 0, 0, 1) 

rtgFound is False. If I manually OCR the document and run this code:

Set aApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App") 
Set aAVDoc = aApp.GetActiveDoc() 
Set aPageView = aAVDoc.GetAVPageView() 
Set aPdDoc = aAVDoc.GetPDDoc() 

pageCount = aPdDoc.GetNumPages  
rtgFound = aAVDoc.FindText("accordingly", 0, 0, 1) 

rtgFound is True. Is it possible to automate Acrobat to OCR into "Editable Text and Images"? That is currently the default UI setting, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

If I have to search every one of the hundreds of little boxes, what would I have to loop through? Are there other options?

Many thanks!
