How can I turn off text recognition when converting PDF to Word?

I just converted a PDF to Word.  It was an image file, but the converter recognized certain lines in the illustration as text elements, so some of the pictures are "chopped up".  Is there a way to "turn off" the text recognition feature so that I can keep my images intact?  Thanks for your help!
