artifacting extraneous PDF containers with script or other tool?

When I execute PDFMaker from the MS Word ribbon, I notice extraneous containers [e.g., empty text containers] embedded within PDF paragraph tags. For example, paragraph markers affixed to each figure within MS Word. It’s fairly easy but time consuming to manually artifact the containers within Adobe Acrobat Pro and then delete the empty tags. I am wondering if there is an automated way of doing this [e.g., Adobe Acrobat script?, Python?, utility already built into Adobe Acrobat Pro?, add-in?, etc].
