Power Automate PDF with Embedded Raster Image of Text is not converting using OCR

I'm using the new PDF to Excel feature and I have mixed raster based images and text inside PDF files.

The raster based image is a table format showing borders with numbers in the table cells.

This is coming over in the excel file as just an image and not OCR operations are occuring.

I don't see any specific settings I can use for how it is converting the PDF file.

Is there a way to force OCR on all raster based images within the PDF?

Thanks!

You would use the OCR service first and then export to Excel.

I am using the new Power Automate connector https://helpx.adobe.com/document-cloud/help/pdf-connector-for-microsoft-power-automate.html to perform the OCR and convert to excel but I don't see many options like to force OCR on all images.

Is there another way to automate this with Power Automate?

The OCR is a separate service but if you have a mixture of text and image, I don't think it's going to work.
